I needed to use my cucumbers so this is what I came up for today. It’s light and tasty. It’s something most people would like. Serving size will differ due to different sized vegetables and different sized appetites. For me this made around 6 servings.

Ingredients for around 6 servings

4 large cucumbers – peeled and seeds removed. Sliced on the thin side.

1 red onion – cut in half sliced thin

1 fennel bulb – core removed, sliced thin and use the fronds as an herb.

1 lb heirloom tomatoes – cut into bite sized peices. I did small wedges

4 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

4 Tablespoons red wine vinegar

1 Tablespoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 dried Calabrian chili (or substitute a pinch of crushed red pepper)

1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds

1 Tablespoon capers – drained

1/2 cup fresh basil – torn

Directions

Combine everything in a large bowl (cucumbers, red onion, fennel, tomatoes, oil, vinegar, salt, peppers, fennel seeds, capers, basil)

Serve

Would be delicious with crusty hot bread.

Enjoy!
