Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium cucumbers
- 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1.5 tablespoons honey
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the cucumbers (optional, depending on your preference). Slice them thinly into rounds and place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the white wine vinegar, honey, ground black pepper, and salt until well combined.
Pour the vinegar mixture over the sliced cucumbers and gently toss to coat evenly.
Let the salad marinate in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. For a stronger flavor, marinate for up to 30 minutes.
Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more honey for sweetness or a pinch of salt for balance.
Transfer the cucumber salad to a serving platter or bowl. If desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish.
Serve chilled as a side dish or accompaniment to roasted meats, bread, or other medieval-inspired meals.
