2 medium cucumbers (**I used english seedless)
1/3 cup thinly sliced scallions
3/4 cup greek-style yogurt (full fat)
2 Tbsp chopped fresh mint (**I used basil since I don't like mint)
1/4 tsp packed finely grated lime zest
1 Tbsp plus 1 tsp fresh lime juice
2 tsp honey
1/4 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp coarsely chopped toasted pine nuts (**I didn't add these)
Wash and trim ends off the cucumbers and peel them. (**I didn't peel mine.) First cut them in half crosswise into two shorter pieces for easier handling. Then cut each half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with a spoon. Slice the cucumbers across into thin half-moons. Put the cucumbers and the scallions in a mixing bowl.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the yogurt, mint, lime zest, lime juice, honey, coriander and salt. Spoon the mixture into the bowl of cucumbers and scallions and gently fold and mix with a spatula until the ingredients are well combined. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with mint sprigs and toasted pine nuts.
