Highlighting local and seasonal fare, Osteria Salina peels and slices kirby cucumbers from nearby Hamptons farms, drizzles them with good quality Sicilian olive oil and sprinkles them with fresh cracked black pepper and flakey Maldon sea salt. The result is a healthy, refreshing, and unbelievably tasty dish that's great as an appetizer or even just as an afternoon snack!

The Perfect Summer Snack

  • 1 tablespoon good quality olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon maldon salt

  • ½ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper

    • 1. Wash and peel cucumber and cut into ½-inch slices.
    2. Drizzle cucumber slices with olive oil.
    3. Season with Maldon salt and black pepper.
