Fancy Cucumber Gin and Tonic
This simple recipe makes good use of in-season cucumbers and creates the perfect summery cocktail.
Spiralized cucumber salad is a crunchy and flavorful alternative to leafy greens and a perfect way to use the in-season vegetable.
Ingredients
- 2-3 cucumbers, spiralized
- 2-3 tablespoons white wine vinegar (or champagne vinegar)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- about one teaspoon salt
- freshly cracked pepper
Instructions
Spiralize cucumbers and mix into a bowl with white wine vinegar (champagne vinegar also works) and Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Generously sprinkle salt (about a teaspoon) and lots of freshly cracked black pepper and mix gently. Allow to sit for 5 minutes before serving.
Pro Tip: cut in slices and put on a platter with toothpicks for a simple, addicting party appetizer instead of as a spiralized side dish.
