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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Dump cucumbers into a colander or sieve and allow to drain thoroughly, patting with paper towels, then put in a salad bowl.
  4. Make the herbed dressing by whisking together the garlic, chives, mint, dill, lemon thyme, rice vinegar, and honey; adjust taste if necessary.
  5. Pour the herbed dressing over the cucumbers, cover and chill in the refrigerator for several hours until flavors blend well.
  6. Serve in salad bowls with a dollop of Greek yogurt on top if desired.
