Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole English cucumber
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium, minced Garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Instructions
Wash the English cucumbers thoroughly and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Using a sharp knife or a mandoline, slice the cucumbers into thin rounds, approximately 1/8 inch thick. Place the cucumber slices in a large mixing bowl.
Finely chop the fresh dill and set aside.
In a small jar or bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Seal the jar tightly with a lid or whisk if using a bowl, and shake or whisk until the dressing is well-emulsified.
Pour the prepared dressing over the cucumber slices and add the chopped dill.
Gently toss everything together until the cucumbers are evenly coated with the dressing.
Allow the cucumber slices to marinate in the dressing for about 5 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors.
Transfer the marinated cucumber slices to a serving platter or bowl.
Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or a delightful side dish.
