Ingredients
- 2 whole English cucumbers
- 0.25 whole Red onion
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Start by washing the cucumbers thoroughly under cold water. Slice the ends off and then cut the cucumbers into thin, even rounds. If preferred, you can peel the cucumbers or leave the skin on for extra texture.
Step 2
Peel the red onion and slice it into thin half-moon slices. To reduce the sharpness, soak the sliced onions in cold water for about 5 minutes, then drain.
Step 3
Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half.
Step 4
Finely chop the fresh dill. Ensure the dill is well rinsed and free of any large stems.
Step 5
In a large salad bowl, combine the cucumber slices, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and chopped dill.
Step 6
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well emulsified.
Step 7
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the large bowl. Toss everything together gently, ensuring the cucumbers and other vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Step 8
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh dill before serving.
Step 9
Serve chilled and enjoy this refreshing, low-carb cucumber salad as a delightful starter or side dish.
