Bright & Briny Cucumber Salad for Any Season
A crisp, refreshing salad that’s quick, healthy, and bursting with bold flavor.
Ingredients:
2 medium cucumbers, thinly sliced
1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar)
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon honey or sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional for heat)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill or mint (optional for freshness)
Directions:
In a small bowl or jar, combine vinegar, water, honey (or sugar), salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Stir or shake until well mixed and the sweetener dissolves.
In a larger bowl, mix the sliced cucumbers and red onions.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss well to combine.
Let the salad sit for 10–15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Garnish with chopped fresh herbs before serving.
