How to Make Honey Cucumber Salad
- Thinly slice 3 medium cucumbers and place them in a large bowl. Sprinkle generously with 1 teaspoon of salt.
- Gently toss the cucumbers to coat them evenly with salt.
- Allow the cucumbers to sit in a colander for 15 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Gently press out any excess liquid.
- While the cucumbers are releasing moisture, prepare the dressing: In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup honey, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste).
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced to about 1/3 cup and slightly thickened.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 1/4 cup finely diced red onion.
- Allow the dressing to cool completely to room temperature.
- Add the drained cucumbers to the cooled dressing and gently toss to coat.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill thoroughly. Serve cold and enjoy!
