Crispy Crunchy Cucumber Salad
The beautiful bounty of summer vegetables rarely needs much adornment and this Crispy Crunchy Cucumber Salad is a classic example of simplicity allowing the vegetable to shine.
Ingredients
- 3 medium cucumbers 1½-2 pounds
- 1 small red onion
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ⅓ cup red wine vinegar
- Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- Using a mandoline, slice the cucumbers about 1/16 of an inch thick. If you don't have a mandoline, slice them as thinly as possible with a chef's knife.
- Cut the onion into quarters and slice each quarter as thinly as possible. If you're brave enough, you can do it on the mandoline.
- Pour the olive oil and red wine vinegar over the thinly sliced cucumbers and onions. Stir to coat the slices well. Add salt and pepper liberally to taste.
