Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Cucumber
- 1 medium Red onion
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry the cucumbers. Slice them thinly into rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.
Peel the red onion and slice it thinly into rings or half-rings.
Place the sliced cucumbers and onions in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and toss gently to combine. Let sit for 5 minutes while you prepare the vinaigrette.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the red wine vinegar, olive oil, honey, grated garlic clove, and freshly chopped dill. Season with black pepper to taste.
Pour the red wine vinaigrette over the cucumber and onion mixture. Toss gently to coat all the vegetables evenly.
Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Serve immediately for a fresh and crisp texture, or let it chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Optionally, garnish with additional fresh dill before serving. Enjoy!
