  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (for sweetness)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Optional: fresh dill or mint for garnish

Instructions

  1. Start by washing the cucumbers thoroughly. Use a mandoline or Fullstar Ultimate Veggie Prep Master to easily slice the cucumbers thinly and uniformly.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper. Add the olive oil to create a smooth, cohesive dressing.
  3. Place the sliced cucumbers in a large bowl and pour over the dressing. Toss gently to coat all slices evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor and crunchiness.
  4. Before serving, sprinkle with fresh dill or mint for added aroma and flavor. Serve chilled as a healthy, refreshing side dish or part of your antipasto platter.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline or Fullstar Vegetable Prep Master for perfect, uniform slicing.
  • Adjust the sweetness or tanginess by varying honey or vinegar amounts.
  • Let the salad sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for maximum flavor absorption.
  • Experiment with adding thinly sliced red onions or cherry tomatoes for extra color and flavor.
