Preparation
Step 1
Toss strawberries, cucumbers, cardamom, a pinch of salt, and 1 tsp. sugar in a medium bowl and let sit 10 minutes to allow sugar to dissolve and flavors to meld.
Step 2
Meanwhile, mix crème fraîche, lemon juice, remaining 2 tsp. sugar, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl; set lemon cream aside.
Step 3
Pulse pistachios, cayenne, and a pinch of salt in a food processor until nuts are just finely ground (do not overprocess or you’ll end up with nut butter).
Step 4
Divide fruit salad among plates and spoon reserved lemon cream over; sprinkle with ground seasoned pistachios.
Step 5
Do Ahead: Lemon cream can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover and chill.
