Description
A refreshing salad that combines crisp cucumbers with a tangy dressing, perfect for summer gatherings or light weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons sugar (or honey for a natural sweetener)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh dill or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by washing the cucumbers thoroughly. Slice them about 1/8-inch thick to achieve that perfect, tender crunch.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers and red onion. Toss gently to mix them well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, sugar (or honey), water, and olive oil until the sugar is dissolved and the dressing is beautifully blended.
- Pour the zesty dressing over the cucumber and onion mixture, then gently toss everything together to coat.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, allowing the flavors to truly shine.
- If desired, garnish with fresh dill or parsley for a pop of color and herbal aroma.
- Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully. For a chilled version, refrigerate it for a refreshing treat!
Notes
This salad tastes even better after sitting in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight. Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
