CUCUMBERS WITH FETA, MINT AND SUMAC



Cucumbers With Feta, Mint and Sumac image

Garden-grown summer cucumbers are ideal for this easy salad, but even hothouse cucumbers are vastly improved with this zesty treatment. The sumac powder can be found at Middle Eastern groceries or online spice emporiums. Sumac adds a pleasant sour flavor that lemon juice alone does not provide. To keep the cucumbers crisp, don't dress them more than 30 minutes before serving.

Provided by Samin Nosrat

Categories     dinner, lunch, quick, salads and dressings, appetizer, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup walnuts
2 bunches small radishes, trimmed (about 15 radishes)
3 Persian cucumbers, ends trimmed
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and ground black pepper
3 ounces sheep's milk feta cheese, crumbled (preferably French feta)
1/2 cup chives cut into 1-inch pieces (about 1 bunch)
1 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves and tender stems (about 1 bunch)
1 cup loosely packed dill fronds, stems removed (about 1 large bunch)
1/2 cup loosely packed mint leaves (about 1 small bunch)
2 sprigs tarragon, leaves stripped

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread walnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast for 10 to 12 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool, then chop roughly. Place in a sieve and shake away loose skin and crumbs. Set chopped nuts aside.
  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to slice the radishes and cucumbers into thin coins roughly 1/8-inch thick. Place in a medium bowl. Add walnuts.
  • In a small glass or jar, whisk together lemon juice and olive oil to make the dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Just before serving, season radishes, cucumbers and walnuts with a pinch of salt and dress lightly with 3 to 4 tablespoons of vinaigrette. Toss well to combine. Add crumbled cheese and toss gently to combine without breaking the cheese down too much. Arrange in a loose mound in a shallow serving bowl (or on a platter).
  • Place herbs in the mixing bowl, season with a pinch of salt, and dress very lightly with about 1 tablespoon vinaigrette. Toss to combine, then pile the herb salad atop the radishes and cucumbers. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and tender arugula: Look for leaves that are bright green and crisp, with no signs of wilting or yellowing.
  • Use a variety of toppings: This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables, so feel free to add whatever you have on hand. Some good options include cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, carrots, and avocado.
  • Make a tangy dressing: The dressing for this salad is simple but flavorful, with a combination of lemon juice, olive oil, honey, and Dijon mustard. You can adjust the sweetness and acidity of the dressing to your liking.
  • Serve immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh, so serve it immediately after making it. The arugula will wilt if it sits for too long, so don't make it ahead of time.

Conclusion:

This arugula salad with cucumbers, radishes, feta, and mint is a refreshing and flavorful side dish or light lunch. It's packed with nutrients and antioxidants, and it's sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give this one a try!
