- 1
Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise. Scrape the seeds into a metal bowl and set aside. Chop the remaining cucumber flesh into small pieces and transfer to a large salad bowl.
- 2
To the metal bowl with the cucumber seeds, add the egg yolk, mustard, red wine vinegar and Spanish anchovies. Whisk to combine.
- 3
While whisking continuously, slowly pour in the olive oil until the vinaigrette is emulsified and thickened.
- 4
Chop the red onion and add it to the salad bowl with the cucumber.
- 5
Crumble the smoked feta into the salad bowl.
- 6
Slice the lamb sausage and pan-fry in a small pan until cooked through and browned. Add the sausage pieces to the salad bowl, then spoon in a little of the cooking jus from the pan.
- 7
Pour the cucumber-seed vinaigrette over the salad and toss everything together with a spoon.
- 8
Scoop the salad into a serving bowl and taste to adjust seasoning. Serve immediately.
