Refreshing and inexpensive. I forgot to take a picture until we had already eaten two servings 😋 We enjoyed this with baked beans and a stuffed roasted poblano.

Steps

40 mins

1

To make the dressing, begin by squeezing about two tablespoons of chopped onion with a lemon juicer, reserving about 1 tablespoon of liquid in a bowl.
2

Whisk in any type of vinegar, salt and any type of sweetener. I used local honey. I also think brown sugar would work really well.
3

Add oil(equal to the amount of vinegar used) in a slow steady stream, whisking to emulsify. Or you can use a blender or food processor.
4

Set dressing aside. Wash the cucumber, peel and cut in half. If you have guinea pigs they will love the peels : ) I sliced those halves in half to create semi-circles. Slice thinly.
5

Add a tablespoon of chopped onion to the sliced cucumber.
6

Whisk vinaigrette again and pour over cucumbers and onions. Cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
