Indian Feta Salad

Instructions

1. 1

   In a blender or food processor, grind the cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, salt, and black pepper into a fine powder.

   Tip: Use a spice grinder or mortar and pestle for an even finer powder.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the chopped cucumber, cherry tomatoes, mint leaves, and red onion.

   Tip: Make sure to slice the cucumber and cherry tomatoes into thin rounds.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, ghee, and the ground spice mixture.

   Tip: Adjust the amount of lemon juice to your taste.

4. 4

   Pour the spice-ghee mixture over the cucumber mixture and toss to coat.

   Tip: Make sure everything is well combined.

5. 5

   Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the salad and toss gently.

   Tip: Don't over-mix to avoid breaking the feta.

6. 6

   Sprinkle the chopped cilantro and crushed pistachios over the salad.

   Tip: Use as much or as little as you like.

7. 7

   Garnish with crushed cashews and serve immediately.

   Tip: The cashews add a nice crunch to the salad.
