Directions
Step 1
Wash the cucumbers and peel them if desired. Slice them into thin rounds and place in a large mixing bowl.

In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar until well combined.

Finely chop the fresh dill and add to the salad, mixing gently to distribute.
Step 7
Season the salad with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Add the lemon zest and give the salad one last toss to mix in the zest.

Serve the salad immediately, or for better infusion of flavors, let it sit in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving.
