  • 3 Cucumber, Whole, Thickly Sliced
  • 1 Bunch Fresh Dill, Chopped
  • 1/2 Thinly sliced white onion
  • 1 Clove Garlic, Pressed
  • 1 Tomato, Thinly sliced, seeds removed

  • 1 TBSP White Wine Vinegar, good quality More, or less, to taste
  • 1 TBSP Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Instructions
 


  • Press garlic into large bowl.
  • Add onion and cucumber. Drizzle with EVOO until lightly coated and stir in 1 TSBP White Wine Vinegar.
  • Add salt to taste, pepper and any other fresh herbs and/ or spices…examples
    may include basils, mints, lemon balm, fresh lemon zest or red pepper.
  • Drizzle in honey and white wine vinegar.
    (I start with around
    1 tsp honey and add more if your taste desires...just add a little at a time.)
  • Stir in tomato and take this time to adjust seasonings.
    Want more sweetness? Add honey.
    Prefer more vinegar? Add it.
  • Finally, stir in dill (and other desired fresh herbs) and
    set in fridge until serving. Add more salt, if needed.
    I let marinade for at least 30 minutes.
