1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt

Anweisungen

On a cutting board, anchor a cucumber between 2 chopsticks with one long side facing you. Using a sharp knife, make diagonal cuts at 1/4" intervals all along the cucumber, slicing about three-quarters of the way through, just until the knife hits the chopsticks. Be careful not to slice all the way through the cucumber.

Turn cucumber so cuts are facing down. With the knife blade at a 90° angle to the cucumber, make vertical cuts at 1/4" intervals across the exposed side. Transfer to a large bowl. Repeat with remaining cucumber.

Add 3/4 teaspoon salt, pushing salt into cuts. Let sit until moisture comes out of cucumber, about 15 minutes.

Drain, then pat cucumber dry and wipe out bowl. Return cucumber to bowl.

In a small bowl, whisk garlic, harissa, honey, and lemon zest until combined. Pour dressing over cucumber, lightly tossing to coat.

Arrange cucumber on a platter. Spoon remaining dressing over from bottom of bowl. Top with feta, dill, and more lemon zest.
