- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the cucumbers under cold water to remove any dirt.
Step 2
For a smoother texture, optionally peel the cucumbers. Alternatively, leave the skin on if you prefer a more robust flavor and additional crunch.

Slice the cucumbers thinly. You can use a knife or a mandoline slicer for even slices.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cucumber slices, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Gently toss the ingredients until the cucumber slices are evenly coated.
Step 6
If using fresh dill, chop it finely and sprinkle it over the salad. Toss again to mix.
Step 7
Let the salad rest for 5 minutes for the flavors to meld, or serve immediately for a crisper texture.
Step 8
Transfer to a serving bowl or plate and enjoy your simple, refreshing Cucumber Only Salad!
