Ingredients
- 2 long English cucumbers thinly sliced
- 2-3 mini or Persian cucumbers thinly sliced
- 1/2 medium red onion thinly sliced into about 1" long pieces
- 1 cup frozen peas thawed
- 1 or 2 Tbsp fresh dill minced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved or quartered if they're really large
- 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar reduction (Alessi is a brand we like)
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Add cucumbers, red onion, peas, dill and tomatoes to a large mixing bowl. Alternately, arrange them on a platter, as I've done in the photos.
- In a small bowl or mason jar, add balsamic vinegar reduction, olive oil, salt and pepper and whisk vigorously to combine.
- Drizzle dressing over the salad and toss to combine, or just drizzle and serve.
Notes
- Both English and Persian cucumbers have relatively little seeds, and a thin skin that doesn't need to be peeled. Of course, you can peel them if you'd like.
