Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large English cucumber
- 2 tbsp Fresh dill
- 3 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Onion powder
- 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp Honey
Instructions
Rinse the cucumber thoroughly under cold water, then pat dry with a clean towel.
Using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice the cucumber into 1/4-inch thick rounds and place them in a large bowl.
Finely chop the fresh dill and add it to the bowl with the cucumber slices.
In a separate small bowl, combine the fresh lemon juice, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, and honey.
Whisk the mixture vigorously until well emulsified and smooth to create the zesty dressing.
Pour the dressing over the cucumber slices and fresh dill in the large bowl.
Gently toss the cucumbers in the dressing using a large spoon or your hands to ensure each slice is evenly coated.
Transfer the cucumber slices to a serving platter or individual plates.
Garnish with extra fresh dill as desired for presentation.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 hour if you prefer the cucumbers cold and marinated.
