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

Instructions
 

STEP 1: PREPARE THE VEGETABLES

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Halve Tomatoes: Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and set them aside.

STEP 2: MAKE THE DRESSING

  • 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

  • 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.
  • 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

  • Serve Cold: Give the salad a final toss before serving. Enjoy it as a refreshing side dish or a light meal on its own.
