Crunchy Cucumber Dill Salad
This Cold Cucumber Dill Salad is the perfect refreshing, crunchy snack or side dish to enjoy on a hot summer day. All you need is a handful of simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 Cucumber English, thinly sliced
- ¼ Red Onion Thinly sliced
- ⅓ cup Fresh Dill Chopped
- 2 Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 teaspoons Whole Grain Mustard
- Salt To taste
Equipment
- Medium Mixing Bowl
Instructions
- Dressing: Add the vinegar, oil, mustard, and salt to the base of a medium bowl and whisk until emulsified.
- Combine: Toss in the cucumber, onion, and dill and fold into the dressing until everything is well incorporated. Allow to sit and marinate at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving, to allow the flavors to combine. You can also let this marinate in the fridge for up to 1 hour before serving.
- Serve: Serve as desired; this salad is best served fresh, as leftovers will become soggy over time.
Notes
- Red wine vinegar can be replaced with balsamic vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or another vinegar of your choice.
- Oil-Free: The oil in this recipe helps to coat the vegetables and allow the vinegar and seasonings to stick; you can omit it if you’d like, but don’t be urprised if everything slides to the bottom of the bowl.
