Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Place cucumbers in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Set aside until water is drawn out of cucumbers, about 30 minutes.
Step 2
Pat cucumbers dry to remove excess salt. Mix cucumbers, onion, pistachios, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl; stir in yogurt until evenly mixed.
Step 3
Garnish a serving bowl with lettuce leaves; pour cucumber mixture into the middle of the bowl. Surround cucumber mixture with tomatoes. Refrigerate for flavors to blend, at least 30 minutes.
