  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

To create this delightful salad, you’ll need the following ingredients. Feel free to make substitutions if you prefer — after all, cooking is as much about improvisation as it is about tradition.

  • 2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese for a creamy twist

Instructions

Let’s get started on crafting this simple yet sensational salad. Just follow these easy steps:

  1. Begin by slicing the cucumbers and red onion as thinly as possible — the thinner, the better, as it allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, red onion, and chopped dill. Toss gently to mix.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined. This dressing is the heart of the salad, bringing all the ingredients to life.
  4. Pour the dressing over the cucumber mixture and toss to coat evenly. Allow the salad to sit for at least 10 minutes, letting the flavors blend together.
  5. If you fancy a bit of creaminess, sprinkle the crumbled feta over the top before serving. It’s an optional step, but one that adds a delightful richness.
  6. Serve immediately or refrigerate for an hour to let the flavors deepen. This salad is wonderful when served cold, especially on a hot summer’s day.
