• 1 tablespoon (chopped) Fresh chives

Step 1

Peel the cucumber and slice it lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds, then chop it into smaller pieces.

Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 8

Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
