Method
Thinly shave 1.5 English cucumbers into ribbons and place them in a large bowl.
Finely dice about one third of a small red onion and add it to the bowl.
Cut the avocado into small cubes and add them to the bowl.
Roughly chop a handful of roasted walnuts (approximately 2–3 tbsp) and toss them in.
Add 5–6 tbsp pomegranate seeds (about half a pomegranate) to the bowl.
Stir in 3–4 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley and 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint.
Dress the salad with the zest and juice of one lemon, 2 tbsp olive oil, a couple pinches of salt and pepper, and optionally 1 tbsp sumac.
Crumble feta cheese over the top.
Gently toss the salad until everything is evenly coated and glossy.
