Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cucumbers, sliced and quartered
  • 2 cups tomatoes, chopped. Cherry tomatoes or Campari tomatoes work best
  • ¼ cup shallot, thinly sliced.
  • ¼ cup cilantro, chopped, loosely packed
  • ¼ cup olive oil, extra virgin
  • 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
  • teaspoons honey, can use sugar if vegan
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions
 Start Cooking 

  • Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water.
  • Wash and dry the vegetables and herbs. Chop them and place in a large bowl together.
  • In a a measuring cup, to medium bowl, or jar with a tight lid, add the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, honey, and red pepper flakes. Beat the dressing ingredients with a whisk or shake in the jar with lid screwed on tightly until they are emulsified.
    Taste the dressing, and adjust the ingredients as you like. Add more soy sauce if you like it saltier, more honey if you prefer it sweeter, and more red pepper flake if you want it spicier.
    (Or, omit the red pepper. Use black pepper in its place.)
  • Pour the dressing over the vegetables and herbs and toss thoroughly. Serve as soon as possible.
