Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large cucumbers
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
Wash and dry the cucumbers. Slice them into thin, even rounds, about 1/4-inch thick.
In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, sea salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes until well combined.
Finely chop the fresh dill and add it to the dressing. Stir well to incorporate the dill into the dressing.
Arrange the cucumber slices on a serving platter in a single layer or slightly overlapping.
Drizzle the zesty dressing evenly over the cucumber slices, ensuring each slice gets a touch of the dressing.
Let the cucumbers sit for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the cucumbers to absorb some dressing.
Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or side dish.
