This salad boasts cool, crisp cucumbers as the star player, but we’ve added a few other ingredients to create a symphony of flavors and textures. Let’s get chopping!

Ingredients:

• 1 large cucumber, thinly sliced
• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced (optional, for those who love a bit of bite)
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill or mint
• 1 tablespoon crumbled feta cheese (optional, for a touch of creaminess)
• For the dressing:
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method:

1. Prep the Cucumbers: Wash and dry your cucumber. Use a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife to thinly slice the cucumber. Aim for even slices for a beautiful presentation.
2. Red Onion (Optional): If you’re using red onion, thinly slice it and add it to a bowl with the cucumbers.
3. Fresh Herbs: Finely chop your dill or mint and add it to the bowl.
4. Feta Cheese (Optional): Crumble the feta cheese over the salad for an extra layer of flavor and creaminess.
5. Make the Dressing: In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper.
6. Assemble and Serve: Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to coat everything evenly. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. Serve immediately or chill for up to 30 minutes for a refreshing bite.

Tips:

• Want to add some protein? Top your salad with a sprinkle of chopped nuts or seeds for an extra satisfying breakfast.
• Don’t have fresh herbs? No problem! A pinch of dried dill or mint will work in a pinch.
• Love a bit of spice? Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing for a kick.
• This salad is best enjoyed fresh, but it will keep in the refrigerator for up to a day.
