Ingredients
- 3 cucumbers
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup pecans, toasted and chopped
- 1/2 cup feta, crumbled
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup honey
Instructions
- Wash the cucumbers well. Trim the ends and discard. Cut the cucumbers into 1/2-inch rounds. Place the rounds flat onto a cutting board. Use a large piping tip, an apple corer, or even a small, round cookie cutter to cut out the center of each cucumber slice.
- Place the cucumbers into a mixing bowl. Sprinkle in the salt and toss to coat. Transfer cucumbers to a colander for one hour, allowing the excess water to drain.
- Once the cucumbers are drained, transfer them back to the mixing bowl.
- Add in the crumbled feta, toasted pecans, and ground black pepper. Toss well to coat.
- Transfer the cucumber rings to a serving platter and drizzle over the honey.
- Serve immediately.
