Crisp Cucumber Salad

Ingredients

• 2 large cucumbers (English or Persian), thinly sliced

• ¼ small red onion, very thinly sliced

• 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (or parsley)

• 3 tbsp rice vinegar (or white wine vinegar)

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1–2 tsp honey (to taste)

• ½ tsp salt

• ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper

• Optional: sesame seeds

Instructions

Toss cucumbers with a pinch of salt and let sit 10–15 minutes. Drain excess liquid for a crisper salad.

Whisk together vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper until balanced (taste and adjust sweetness or acidity).

Add cucumbers, red onion, and dill to a bowl. Pour dressing over and toss gently.

Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes before serving to let flavors meld.

Finish with extra dill, cracked pepper, sesame seeds (if using) and enjoy!
