Cucumber Salad with Feta, Dill, Pistachios and Pickled Onions

½ tsp salt, plus and extra pinch for the salad

2 tbsp minced red onion or shallot

2 cucumbers, thinly sliced

2 tbsp chopped fresh dill

3 oz feta cheese, crumbled

⅓ cup unsalted pistachios, roughly chopped

¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper

First, quickly pickle the onion. To do this, add the Colavita vinegar and salt to a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.

Once simmering, add in the minced red onion or shallot and remove from the heat. Let the onion steep and cool in the vinegar for 10-15 minutes.

In a large serving bowl combine the cucumbers, feta and pistachios.

Pour the onion and vinegar mixture over the top of the salad.

Drizzle with about 2 tbsp of Colavita olive oil and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper and a pinch of salt.

Toss everything together until well coated. Garnish with fresh dill.

Serve.
