I had so many cucumbers from my garden that I needed to do something with them. Luckily, I found this extremely simple, yet scrumptious cucumber salad recipe. HEAVEN! Let the bounty continue!
ingredients
3-4 cups thinly sliced cucumbers
½ cup dill chopped without stems
2 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
4 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
instructions
Cut the cucumber into very thin (slightly see-through) slices. Place them into a salad bowl.
Method 1 (crunchy cucumber salad)
Cut the dill. Mix the dressing in a separate bowl using the olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, the chopped dill and pepper. Add salt only if served immediately. Otherwise add it to the cucumber salad shortly before serving.
Mix the finished dressing with the cucumbers. Add more salt and pepper if needed.
Method 2 (soft cucumber salad)
Add salt to the cucumbers in the bowl and let them sit for approx. 10 minutes to de-water them.
Cut the dill. Mix the dressing in a separate bowl using the olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, the chopped dill and pepper.
Drain the cucumbers until there is no water left. Mix the finished dressing with the cucumbers. Add more salt and pepper if needed.
