About Cucumber salad with red onion

Cucumber Salad with Red Onion is a refreshing dish rooted in various global cuisines, often associated with Mediterranean and Eastern European traditions. This crisp, hydrating salad typically features thinly sliced cucumbers and red onions, tossed with a light dressing of vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, or yogurt. Herbs such as dill or parsley are commonly added for extra flavor. Low in calories and rich in water content, cucumbers provide hydration while supporting healthy digestion. Red onions supply antioxidants like quercetin, along with vitamins and minerals that promote heart health and immune function. Olive oil or yogurt in the dressing contributes healthy fats or probiotics, depending on the preparation. While generally healthy, added sugars in sweetened dressings or excess salt can diminish nutritional benefits. Served as a side dish or light entree, this salad is a clean, quick, and wholesome option for a balanced meal.
