Ingredients
- 2 English cucumbers sliced
- 1/2 red onion sliced
- 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, parsley, and pepper. Set aside.
- Slice the cucumber into ¼-inch thick slices.
- Once cut, place in a colander lined with paper towels. Layer the cucumber slices, sprinkling salt in between each layer. This draws out the water in the cucumbers so the salad does not become watery.
- Allow to sit for 10 minutes. Afterward, pat the sliced cucumbers and place them in a large bowl.
- Slice the red onion into thin slices. Place them into the bowl with the cucumbers.
- Pour the dressing over the cucumbers and onions and toss to coat.
