Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large cucumber
- 0.5 small red onion
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and pat them dry. Using a peeler, create alternating stripes by peeling off strips of the cucumber skin. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion into fine strips.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, rice vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the cucumber slices and red onion in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the honey dressing over the top.
Add the fresh dill, finely chopped, and gently toss everything together until evenly coated.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a side dish or enjoy on its own for a light, refreshing snack.
