Description
A light and refreshing cucumber salad with fresh herbs and a tangy dressing, perfect for a healthy side dish.
Ingredients
- 2 large cucumbers, sliced thinly
- 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Begin by washing and slicing the cucumbers thinly. If desired, you can peel them, but leaving the skin on adds a nice crunch and color.
- Slice the red onion thinly and chop the dill and parsley.
- In a large bowl, combine the cucumbers, red onion, dill, and parsley.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, olive oil, sugar, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Pour the dressing over the cucumber mixture and toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is well-coated.
- Let the salad sit for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- For a creamier version, add a spoonful of sour cream, Greek yogurt, or mayo to the dressing mixture.
- If you like spice, include some sliced jalapeños or red pepper flakes.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
