Light. Fresh. Addictive.
This is one of those recipes you don’t think about until you try it.
Crisp cucumbers, a little bite from red onion, and a clean, slightly sweet finish from white balsamic vinegar.
It takes just a few minutes to make, but it’s the kind of side dish people keep going back to.
Ingredients
- 2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 2–3 tablespoons Seven Barrels White Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill or parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Slice cucumbers and red onion thin
- Add to a bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper
- Drizzle with white balsamic vinegar and olive oil (if using)
- Toss gently to combine
- Let sit for 5–10 minutes to allow flavors to come together
- Garnish with fresh herbs and serve
Why This Works
White balsamic is lighter and cleaner than traditional balsamic.
That means:
- it doesn’t overpower the cucumbers
- it adds brightness instead of heaviness
- it keeps the dish fresh and crisp
This is simple food done right.

- quick lunches

The Flavor That Makes the Difference
