• 총 시간: 15 minutes

Add the cucumbers and the salt to a bowl and allow to sit for 15 minutes, then drain, rinse, pat dry and place in a new bowl. Add the spices and the oil. Toss to combine.

Make the whipped ricotta and feta. Add the ricotta, feta, yogurt, dill, lemon zest, salt and pepper to a food processor and process until mostly smooth (it’s ok to have a little feta chunk).

Serve cucumbers over the dip and top with chives, dill, pine nuts and honey.
