Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large English cucumber
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and pat them dry. Slice them into thin rounds using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion. Add it to a large mixing bowl along with the sliced cucumbers.
Finely chop the fresh dill and set it aside.
In a small bowl or jar, prepare the lemon dill dressing by whisking together the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the chopped dill.
Pour the dressing over the cucumber and red onion mixture. Toss gently to combine and ensure the vegetables are evenly coated.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Just before serving, give the salad another light toss, taste for seasoning, and adjust with additional salt or lemon juice if needed.
Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish. Enjoy!
