Ingredients
- 2 large Cucumbers
- 2 tablespoons Whole-grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 0.25 medium Red onion
Directions
Step 1
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly. Use a vegetable peeler to create stripes by peeling alternating sections, leaving some skin intact. Slice the cucumbers thinly into rounds or half-moons if they'd be too large.
Step 2
Finely chop the fresh dill. Thinly slice the red onion into rings or small strips.
Step 3
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the whole-grain mustard, Dijon mustard, olive oil, honey, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and emulsified.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, red onion, and chopped dill.
Step 5
Pour the mustard dressing over the vegetables and gently toss to coat everything evenly.
Step 6
Let the salad sit for about 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 7
Serve immediately as a side salad or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy!
