Salad Ingredients
  • 2 medium Cucumbers, thinly sliced Choose firm cucumbers for the best crunch.

  • 1/4 cup Vinegar Apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar work well.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pepper
  • 1/4 cup Fresh herbs (e.g., dill or parsley), chopped Add for extra flavor.

  3. Toss the cucumbers and red onion in the dressing.
  4. Add chopped fresh herbs and mix well.

Notes

For leftovers, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Cucumbers may become soggy over time. Consider adding other vegetables for extra flavor and color, or a dollop of yogurt for creaminess.
