Cherry Tomato and Cucumber Salad

• 1 cucumber (English slicing cukes work best), ¼-slices
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced or scallion
• 2 Tbsp flat leaf parsley, chopped
• 2 Tbsp white balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 1/2 Tbsp honey
• 2 tsp sugar
• ½ tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp onion powder
• 1/4 tsp pepper

1. Place sliced cucumber, cherry tomatoes and red onion in a medium size mixing bowl. Add chopped parsley and set aside.

Make the vinaigrette:

1. Place white balsamic vinegar in a mixing bowl and drizzle olive oil into vinegar slowly while vigorously whisking until thickened. Whisk in honey, sugar, sea salt, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, onion powder and white pepper until fully combined.

2. Drizzle vinaigrette over the vegetables. Set aside on the counter for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to combine. Gently toss just before serving.
