Time 1h20m

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 to 7 Kirby cucumbers, peeled, halved, seeded, and sliced 1/4 inch thick (6 cups)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon unseasoned rice vinegar, plus more to taste
1/3 cup mixed chopped fresh tender herbs, such as parsley, mint, and chives, plus whole leaves for serving
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • In a bowl, stir together cucumbers, oil, vinegar, and chopped herbs. Refrigerate, covered, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day. Taste and season with salt, pepper, and vinegar. Serve, sprinkled with whole herb leaves.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm cucumbers and peaches: Overripe fruits will be mushy and lack flavor. Avoid cucumbers with blemishes or bruises.
  • Slice the cucumbers and peaches thinly: This will help them absorb the dressing better and make the salad easier to eat.
  • Use a variety of herbs: The recipe calls for basil, mint, and chives, but you can use any combination of herbs that you like. Some other good options include cilantro, dill, parsley, and tarragon.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld together. You can also store the dressing in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • Serve the salad chilled: This will make it even more refreshing on a hot summer day.

Conclusion:

Cucumber and peach salad with herbs is a light, refreshing, and flavorful salad that is perfect for summer. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy salad to make, give this one a try.
