This is a simple, tasty, & refreshing cucumber salad!

 

INGREDIENTS:

cucumbers (about 1 cuke per 1 to 2 people)

oil

balsamic vinegar

salt

sugar (optional)

chives or any fresh herbs from the garden

 

 

First, peel the cucumbers…Then, with a fork, score the cucumber, to create lengthwise grooves.   This will create a pretty pattern once the cucumber is sliced!
