Cucumber Salad

Step 1

Toss together cucumbers, scallions, wine, and ½ teaspoon of the salt in a medium-size nonreactive bowl. Cover and chill, tossing occasionally, until flavors meld, about 1 hour.

Step 2

Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, black pepper, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber mixture (with liquid); toss to combine. Gently stir in basil. Season to taste with additional salt. Garnish with basil, and serve.
