Instructions:

1. Slice the cucumbers into uniform rounds, about 3mm thick.
2. Toss the cucumber slices in a colander with 1/2 tsp (3g) of salt.

5. Combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, minced garlic, oregano, and pepper in a small jar.
6. Shake the jar vigorously for 30 seconds until the liquid is opaque and cohesive. Note: This creates the emulsion

9. Fold in the fresh parsley last using a spatula.
10. Let the salad rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
