Pretty Petite Herbed Cucumber Salad
Category:Ingredients:
- 1 lb small cucumbers, scrubbed clean
- 1/2 Tbsp kosher salt
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 Tbsp chives
- 2 Tbsp fresh mint, chopped
- 2 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon thyme, chopped
- 1 cup rice vinegar
- 2 Tbsp honey
- Greek yogurt and sprig of mint for garnish
Instructions:
- Scrub the cucumbers to remove any tiny bumps. Take a fork and run down the length of the cucumbers to score them. Cut the cucumbers in half lengthwise, then slice paper-thin.
- To remove some of the moisture from the cucumbers, put them in a big bowl and sprinkle with the kosher salt. Let it sit for about an hour, stirring a few times to mix.
- Dump cucumbers into a colander or sieve and allow to drain thoroughly, patting with paper towels, then put in a salad bowl.
- Make the herbed dressing by whisking together the garlic, chives, mint, dill, lemon thyme, rice vinegar, and honey; adjust taste if necessary.
- Pour the herbed dressing over the cucumbers, cover and chill in the refrigerator for several hours until flavors blend well.
- Serve in salad bowls with a dollop of Greek yogurt on top if desired.
