Equipment

  • Medium Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 Cucumber English, thinly sliced
  • ¼ Red Onion Thinly sliced
  • cup Fresh Dill Chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 teaspoons Whole Grain Mustard
  • Salt To taste

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.
