Ingredients:

  • 1 lb English Cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 3 oz Red Onion, thinly sliced into half-moons
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Fine Sea Salt

Instructions:

  1. Thinly slice the cucumbers and red onions. Note: Aim for consistent thickness so they marinate evenly.
  2. Place the cucumber slices in a colander, sprinkle with 1 tsp (6g) of salt, and toss well.
  3. Let them sit for 15–20 minutes until you see a pool of water at the bottom of the colander.
  4. Pat dry the cucumbers with a paper towel. Note: Removing the surface moisture ensures the dressing clings.
  5. In a small bowl or jar, combine the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, sugar, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  6. Whisk vigorously until the sugar dissolves and the oil is fully incorporated.
  7. Combine the drained cucumbers and sliced red onions in a large mixing bowl.
  8. Pour the dressing over the top and toss gently.
  9. Let the salad rest in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to penetrate the vegetables.
