Description
A light and tangy cucumber salad featuring fresh dill, red onion, and a simple honey vinegar dressing. Refreshing and perfect for warm weather meals.
Ingredients
- 2 English cucumbers, very thinly sliced
- ½ large red onion, very thinly sliced
- ¼ cup white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave nectar
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- Chopped fresh chives, optional, for garnish
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Combine: In a large bowl, combine the cucumber, onion, vinegar, honey/agave, and salt.
- Mix: Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
- Chill: Refrigerate for 20 minutes. During this time, the cucumbers will release water and absorb flavor.
- Drain: After chilling, transfer to a new bowl, discarding the excess water left behind.
- Finish: Sprinkle in the fresh dill and chives, season with pepper, and toss gently.
- Serve: Serve immediately or chill further before serving.
Notes
For a vegan version, use agave nectar instead of honey. You can also substitute white wine vinegar with apple cider vinegar for a fruitier flavor.
