Ingredients
Salad Ingredients
- 1/2 English cucumber, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
- 1/2 shallot, thinly sliced (about 1/4 cup)
- 2 peaches, pitted and sliced (about 2 cups)
- About 2 tablespoons packed fresh mint leaves
Dressing & Finishing
- 2-3 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 lime, juiced and zested (about 1 tablespoon juice, 1 teaspoon zest)
- 2-3 teaspoons honey (regular or hot honey)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Mix Cucumbers and Shallots. Thinly slice the cucumbers and shallots using a mandoline or knife. Place them in a bowl and toss with lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to marinate.
- Add Peaches and Mint. Add the sliced peaches and fresh mint leaves to the marinated cucumber and shallot mixture.
- Drizzle with Honey. Drizzle the salad with honey (hot honey recommended for a kick) and gently toss everything together to combine all flavors.
- Serve Immediately. Garnish with extra mint leaves, additional honey, and more salt and pepper if desired. This salad is best enjoyed fresh and does not keep well as leftovers.
Notes
- Use a mandoline for thin, even slices of cucumber and shallots.
- For extra flavor, try hot honey or regular honey with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
- This salad is best served immediately as the peaches and cucumbers lose texture over time.
- Adjust the amount of honey and seasoning according to your taste preference.
