This recipe from Jesse Goldstein has become our go-to summer salad. If you have a mandolin, by all means bust it out for the peaches and cucumbers.

Ingredients

1 large cucumber

3-4 peaches, washed

¼ cup thinly-sliced purple onion

1 teaspoon sea salt

⅓ cup apple cider vinegar

⅓ cup water

2 tablespoons honey

freshly ground black pepper to taste

Preparation

1. Peel cucumber if desired. Half and seed. Slice cucumber into thin slices (or get thin strips with a potato peeler) and place in a bowl. Half the peaches, remove the pit and slice into ¼ inch slices. Add the sliced peaches, onion and salt to the bowl; toss to combine. Set aside.

2. Heat remaining ingredients in a saucepan until simmering and pour hot liquid over the cucumber-peach mixture. Toss to combine and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
