Ingredients

4 servings

2 medium english cucumbers (about 1 ½ lb total), thinly sliced
½ tsp salt
4 scallions, green tops only, thinly sliced
2 tbsp fresh mint leaves, roughly torn
2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped (optional)

For the dressing

3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dijon mustard
¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

1
Place the sliced cucumbers in a large mixing bowl and toss with the salt. Let stand for 10 minutes, then tip into a colander and shake off the excess liquid — the cucumbers should feel slightly softened but still crisp.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, olive oil, Dijon mustard, and black pepper until smooth and emulsified.
