Ingredients

  • 1 medium cucumber
  • 1/2 bulb fennel thinly sliced
  • 30 gr walnuts coarsely chopped
  • 100 gr lamb's lettuce
  • sprouts to garness I used gardencress

Dressing

  • 60 gr Greek yoghurt
  • 1 tbsp za'atar
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • salt and pepper to taste
Metric - Us customary

Instructions

  • Peel the cucumber and cut it in half lengthways, then in half again and cut into slices of the thickness you want it to be.
  • Slice the fennel leaves very finely. Making them too thick will make it too overpowering.
  • Add cucumber, yogurt, half of the walnuts, za'atar, lemonjuice, fennel, salt and pepper to a medium mixing bowl and mix it all well.
  • Put your green at the bottom of a plate and put the cucumber salad on top.
  • Garnish with the rest of your walnuts and the cress.
