Calories: 150

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large cucumbers thinly sliced
  • 1 small red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill chopped
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

STEP 1: PREPARE THE VEGETABLES
  1. Slice Cucumbers: Start by washing the cucumbers thoroughly. Cut off the ends and slice them thinly. You can peel them if you prefer, but leaving the skin on adds a nice crunch.
  2. Slice Onion: Next, take the red onion and slice it thinly. If the flavor is too strong for you, soak the slices in cold water for about 10 minutes, then drain.
  3. Halve Tomatoes: Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and set them aside.
STEP 2: MAKE THE DRESSING
  1. Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
STEP 3: ASSEMBLE THE SALAD
  1. Mix Everything: In a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and fresh dill. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
  2. Chill: Let the salad sit in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
STEP 4: SERVE
  1. Serve Cold: Give the salad a final toss before serving. Enjoy it as a refreshing side dish or a light meal on its own.
