Cucumber Salad with Red Onion + Dill Recipe

I love simple, easy and quick to prepare dishes. This cool Cucumber Salad with Red Onion + Dill ticks all of those boxes. Plus it is both Vegan + Gluten Free!

Consisting of cucumber, red onion, dill, and some oil and vinegar, this salad is super hydrating and full of flavour. This salad is a quick little side dish or it could also be a light lunch if you add a bit of protein like tuna or chicken to make it more substantial.

I don’t know about you, but when the summer months hit I am all about the cool salads and EASY lunches and dinners.

 

CUCUMBER SALAD WITH RED ONION + DILL

First, peel the skin of half of a cucumber, then slice it in half.

I then slice the halves into semi circles and put them in a medium bowl.

Next up, the red onion!

Slice some red onion very thinly and place them on top of the cucumber.

Next the ingredient that pulls it all together, delectable dill.

You can totally use fresh dill if you have it, but dried dill works well and definitely makes this salad super quick to throw together.

Toss in a little olive oil and vinegar and boom! After my first mouthful of this salad, I actually spoke out loud. “Delicious!”,

I said to myself. I would have said more but I was too busy shoveling cucumber salad into my mouth…

This is perfect for the warm days ahead. Easily packed up, it would be great to tote to work for lunch. However considering the water content, this dish may get a little soggy if you let it sit for too long.

Considering this I would not advise letting it sit overnight.

What a great summer salad option that is bursting with taste and H2O. Also, it’s ready in 5 minutes…what more could you ask for?
