Cucumber Dill Salad
This easy Cucumber Dill Salad is crisp, refreshing, and ready in just minutes. Made with fresh cucumbers, dill, red onion, and tangy dressing.
Equipment
- 1 Mandoline Makes slicing easier!
Ingredients
- 2 Cucumbers I like English
- ⅓ cups red onion Sliced Paper Thin
- ¼ cup Vinegar
- 3 tablespoon Fresh Dill
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon Pepper
Instructions
- Slice the Vegetables: Wash and dry the cucumbers. Using a sharp knife or mandolin slicer, cut the cucumbers into thin, even slices, about ⅛-inch thick. Next, slice the red onions as thinly as possible. Paper-thin slices provided plenty of flavor without overpowering the salad. 2 Cucumbers ⅓ cups red onion
- Make the Salad: Add the sliced cucumbers and red onions to a large mixing bowl. Pour in the vinegar and honey, then add the fresh chopped dill, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the cucumbers are evenly coated. ¼ cup Vinegar 1 tbsp Honey 3 tbsp Fresh Dill 1 tsp salt ½ tsp Pepper
- Chill before Serving: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This gives the cucumbers time to infuse all the flavor.
Notes
- Roughly chop the fresh dill: Giving the dill a rough chop helps release its natural oil, which adds even more flavor throughout the salad.
- Choose the right cucumber: English cucumbers don't need to be peeled because their skin is thin and tender. If you are using garden cucumbers, peel them if the skin is thick or bitter.
- Use a mandolin for even slices: A mandoline slicer will make quick work of the cucumbers and create thin, uniform slices. Aim for about ⅛ -inch thick so they soak up the dressing while still keeping their crisp texture.
- Serve cold: This salad tastes best straight from the refrigerator, making it the perfect refreshing side dish for hot summer days.
