Cucumber Salad

Ingredients

  • 2 (16 oz. each) large English cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp finely minced fresh parsley
  • 1 Tbsp minced fresh dill
  • 1 tsp minced fresh garlic
  • 1/4 medium red onion, thinly sliced (1/2 cup)

Instructions

  • Place sliced cucumbers in a colander. Sprinkle with salt and toss to evenly coat, while separating slices so salt coats all cucumbers. Transfer colander to refrigerator set over a plate to allow cucumbers to drain 30 - 60 minutes.
  • Meanwhile in a mixing bowl whisk together apple cider vinegar, olive oil, mayonnaise, honey, parsley, dill, garlic, and pepper until blended. Chill until ready to use.
  • Place red onion in a fine mesh sieve, rinse and drain.
  • Spread cucumbers over a double layer of paper towels. Top with another layer of paper towels then roll paper towels up (with cucumbers inside) and press to remove excess liquid.
  • Transfer cucumbers and red onion to a large bowl. Whisk dressing again until blended then pour over cucumbers. Toss to coat well. Serve within one hour.
