🥒 Simple & Refreshing Cucumber Salad Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 large cucumbers (thinly sliced)
• 1 small red onion (sliced very thin – optional)
• 2–3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (or vinegar)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sugar or honey (optional, for a little balance)
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• A handful of fresh herbs (dill, cilantro, or parsley – your choice)

Instructions:

1. Slice it up – Wash your cucumbers and slice them nice and thin in round shape. If you think the skin is too thick or waxy, you can peel them first. Also slice the onion and take them to a big bowl.
2. Add some zing – Toss in the red onion slices if you’re loving them. They give the salad a little extra kick.
3. Mix the dressing – In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice or vinegar, olive oil, sugar or honey, salt, and pepper. Very simple, right?
4. Bring it all together – Pour the dressing over your cucumber and onion slices. Mix them properly so the cucumbers are coated nicely.
5. Finish with herbs – Sprinkle in your favorite fresh herbs. Dill gives it a classic flavor, but parsley or cilantro works too.
6. Chill & enjoy – Keep the salad in the fridge for 10–15 minutes before serving. This makes it extra refreshing!
