Simple Cucumber Salad

This is so simple and quick, great as a side to any summer meal, and also fabulous the next day as salad dressing.

• 2 cloves garlic, crushed

• 1 small to medium onion (yellow or red), thinly sliced

• handful of basil, finely chopped

• salt and pepper

• splash of olive oil

• double splash of balsamic vinegar

• splash of maple syrup
