These beautiful local lemon cucumbers came from Hudson farm in Rowesville, South Carolina. They look like lemons but have a unique crisp cucumber flavor that is perfect in this salad. If you cant find these particular cukes, you can subsitute English Cucumbers and white balsamic vinegar if you can't find the Golden! Enjoy!

Serves 4

  • 3 cups Thinly sliced Lemon Cucumbers
  • 1 small thinly sliced red onion
  • 1 tablespoon Chopped Fresh Thyme
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar in the Raw
  • 1/2 cup Crumbled Ricotta Salata
  • Golden Balsamic Vinegar
  • Arbequina Olive oil
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  1. Place Cucumbers, Red onions and Thyme in a bowl and toss gently.
  2. Season with the sugar in the raw, salt and pepper and toss to combine.
  3. Drizzle in a little golden balsamic and the arbequina olive oil and toss again.
  4. Finish with crumbled Ricotta Salata.
  5. If you are making it a day in advance, wait to add the cheese until right before you serve it. Enjoy!
