This is the easiest salad to prepare with only 6 ingredients that can be served with your favorite protein or enjoyed as a side. It is a crunchy and raw salad with a vinegar herb dressing that is tangy, sweet, and salty. It’s a great quick dinner or lunch option and is ready in less than 10 minutes.
For this recipe, you will need:
- Cucumber: You can either hand slice your cucumbers or use a mandoline, but you want them to be about ¼ inch slices
- Red Onion
- Dill: I like to use fresh dill instead of dried for this
- Red Wine Vinegar
- Olive Oil
- Salt + Pepper
- Maple Syrup or Honey: This adds a hint of a sweetness to the dressing, you can also use honey or omit entirely
Tips:
- You can make the dressing in advance and store it in the fridge for up to 5 days
How to Store:
I would recommend eating the cucumbers mixed with dressing the same day you make the salad, but you could store for this salad for up to 3 days in the refrigerator in a sealed airtight container
