Cucumber Salad
Need a quick cucumber salad for lunch or dinner that’s just a step up from plain sliced cucumbers?
Try this:
1-2 peeled cucumbers, thinly sliced
1/4 to 1/2 tsp. salt
1 T. white wine vinegar
Slice your cucumbers as thin as you can. if you have a mandoline so much the better, and faster. There’s something different about the slices when they’re thinner versus thicker. Sprinkle with salt and lightly stir. Let stand for 15-30 minutes. Drain most of the liquid – no need to squeeze or dry the cucumbers.
Then kick those slices up a notch with a splash of white wine vinegar. Gently and thoroughly mix it in. Add more vinegar if you like but less is better. This makes a simple but refreshing side salad.
