Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large cucumbers
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Wash and dry the cucumbers. Slice them thinly into rounds using a knife or a mandoline for even slices. Place the slices in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white wine vinegar, honey, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to form the vinaigrette.
Finely chop the fresh dill, parsley, and garlic. Add them to the vinaigrette and whisk again to combine evenly.
Pour the herbed vinaigrette over the cucumber slices. Toss gently to ensure all the cucumber slices are well coated.
Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, toss the cucumbers once more to redistribute the vinaigrette. Serve chilled as a side dish or snack.
