Use up your garden’s summer bounty in this fresh cucumber dill salad. It’s sweet, tangy and makes the perfect side to just about any dish!
I’m not going to lie, it’s been really tough eating away from home. We hardly ever eat out (CAVA is the one exception) because I never know what is safe. So when we got invited to a BBQ a few weeks ago I ate a snack beforehand just incase. Lucky for me there was plenty to eat including this fresh, vibrant salad. I was hooked from the first bite!
Normally I don’t get too excited about cucumbers but this dish was so simple and so delicious I couldn’t help but ask for the recipe. I was surprised when our host listed off 6 ingredients: cucumbers, onion, dill, vinegar, salt and sugar. That was it! I was even more surprised when she said all you had to do was toss it together. 🙌 I went home and did my best to recreate it.
You’ll need two large cucumbers. She used fresh ones from her garden, however, we didn’t do a garden this year so I bought English cucumbers from the store. Hothouse would work too.
Peel the cucumbers and then cut into 1/8-inch thick slices. If you like rustic looking salad you can cut the cucumbers by hand OR you can use a mandolin to get perfect, even slices. It’s totally up to you and whether or not you have that tool.
