- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the cucumbers. Slice them into thin, even rounds, about 1/4-inch thick.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, sea salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes until well combined.
Step 3
Finely chop the fresh dill and add it to the dressing. Stir well to incorporate the dill into the dressing.
Step 4
Arrange the cucumber slices on a serving platter in a single layer or slightly overlapping.
Step 5
Drizzle the zesty dressing evenly over the cucumber slices, ensuring each slice gets a touch of the dressing.
Step 6
Let the cucumbers sit for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the cucumbers to absorb some dressing.
