Ingredients

  1. 3 cloves garlic
  2. 1 shallot, halved
  3. 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon canola oil
  4. 1/2 cup fresh parsley
  5. 1/3 cup sherry vinegar
  6. 1 tablespoon honey
  7. 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  8. 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  9. Salt
  10. 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  11. 3 English cucumbers, halved lengthwise, seeded and sliced into 1/8-inch half-moons
  12. 1 red onion, cut into 1/8-inch thick slices

Instructions

  1. For the parsley-shallot vinaigrette: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Toss the garlic and shallots with the 1 tablespoon canola oil in a bowl, then spread out on a small baking sheet. Bake until beginning to brown, about 15 minutes.
  3. Place the roasted garlic and shallots in a blender along with the parsley, vinegar, honey, lemon juice, mustard and 2 teaspoons salt. Blend on low speed until everything begins to puree. Turn to high and slowly add the remaining 3/4 cup canola oil to emulsify. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
  4. For the cucumber salad: Combine the cherry tomatoes, cucumbers and red onions in a large mixing bowl. Toss with parsley-shallot vinaigrette.
