Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Cucumber
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 teaspoons Fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly under cold running water and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Using a sharp knife or mandolin slicer, slice the cucumbers into thin, even rounds (approximately 1/8 inch thick).
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, chopped fresh dill, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is well combined.
Place the sliced cucumbers in a large mixing bowl. Pour the prepared dressing over the cucumber slices.
Gently toss the cucumber slices with the dressing until they are evenly coated.
Transfer the dressed cucumbers to a serving platter or bowl. Garnish with additional dill if desired.
Serve immediately for the freshest flavor, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
