- 2 tablespoons white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
👩🍳 Instructions:
- Prep the veggies
Thinly slice the cucumbers and red onion. A mandoline works great for getting uniform slices. - Make the dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, chopped dill, salt, and pepper. - Toss & chill
Add the cucumbers and onions to a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the top and toss to combine. Let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to let the flavors meld. - Serve cold
Serve as a cool side dish on hot days—it only gets better the longer it sits!
🌿 Farm Stand Tip:
This recipe is a great way to use up those bumper crops of cucumbers and dill. You can also add sliced radishes or a spoonful of sour cream for a creamier variation.
