Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups quartered hulled strawberries (from 1 pound whole)
3 sliced Persian cucumbers
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
A pinch of salt
1/2 cup crème fraîche
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
A pinch of salt
1/4 cup unsalted, roasted pistachios
A pinch of cayenne pepper
A pinch of salt

Steps:

  • Toss 4 cups quartered hulled strawberries (from 1 pound whole), 3 sliced Persian cucumbers, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl and let sit 10 minutes to allow sugar to dissolve and flavors to meld.
  • Meanwhile, mix 1/2 cup crème fraîche, 2 teaspoons sugar, 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl; set lemon cream aside.
  • Pulse 1/4 cup unsalted, roasted pistachios, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt in a food processor until nuts are just finely ground (do not overprocess or you'll end up with nut butter).
  • Divide fruit salad among plates and spoon some of the reserved lemon cream over; sprinkle with ground seasoned pistachios.
  • Do Ahead
  • Lemon cream can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover and chill.
