Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Cucumbers
- 2 tablespoons Whole-grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 0.25 medium Red onion
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly. Use a vegetable peeler to create stripes by peeling alternating sections, leaving some skin intact. Slice the cucumbers thinly into rounds or half-moons if they'd be too large.
Finely chop the fresh dill. Thinly slice the red onion into rings or small strips.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the whole-grain mustard, Dijon mustard, olive oil, honey, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and emulsified.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, red onion, and chopped dill.
Pour the mustard dressing over the vegetables and gently toss to coat everything evenly.
Let the salad sit for about 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve immediately as a side salad or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy!
