Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced cucumbers, thinly sliced red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, and finely chopped fresh dill. Toss until all the ingredients are well distributed.
- In a separate, smaller bowl, whisk together the olive oil and apple cider vinegar. Season the mixture with salt and pepper, adjusting to your taste preference.
- Gradually pour the dressing over the cucumber mixture, ensuring every slice gets a share of this tangy delight. Toss the salad gently to coat evenly.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This allows the cucumbers to marinate and the flavors to meld together, resulting in a more flavorful salad.
- Before serving, give the salad a quick mix to redistribute the dressing. Serve chilled for a refreshing and crisp taste sensation. Enjoy!
Tips
- For an extra burst of flavor, add a clove of minced garlic to the dressing.
- If you're not on a strict keto diet, adding a sprinkle of feta cheese can elevate this salad to new levels.
