Herb & Garlic Dressing

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Shake the dressing ingredients together in a jar. A vigorous shake helps the vinegar and oil emulsify.

  2. Step 2: Trim the cucumber ends, then slice the cucumbers about 3 mm or 1/8 inch thick.

  3. Step 3: Put the cucumber slices in a bowl with the red onion.

  4. Step 4: Pour the dressing over the cucumber and onion. Toss gently and serve immediately.

Notes

For the cucumbers, use 3 standard cucumbers or 2 long Telegraph or English cucumbers.

Red wine vinegar can be replaced with white wine, champagne, sherry or apple cider vinegar. If using regular white vinegar, use 1 tablespoon.

For the mixed dried herbs, use 1/4 teaspoon each of basil or parsley, oregano and thyme, or other dried herbs of choice.
