Refreshing Cucumber Salad Recipe: A Crisp and Cool Delight

Ingredients:

  • 2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the cucumbers by washing them thoroughly under cold water. If desired, you can peel them, but leaving the skin on adds extra texture and nutrients. Slice the cucumbers thinly and place them in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the bowl with the cucumbers.
  3. Chop the fresh dill finely and sprinkle it over the cucumbers and onions.
  4. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, white wine vinegar, and honey until well combined. This creates a light and tangy dressing for the salad.
  5. Pour the dressing over the cucumber mixture, ensuring that all the ingredients are evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
  6. Gently toss the salad to combine all the ingredients and coat them evenly with the dressing.
  7. Once the salad is well mixed, cover the bowl and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and the salad to chill.
  8. Before serving, give the salad a final toss to redistribute the dressing. Garnish with additional fresh dill if desired.
  9. Serve the cucumber salad chilled as a refreshing side dish or as a light and healthy snack.
