Ingredients
Scale
- 1 english cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced (or sub Pickled Red Onions for an extra kick)
- 1/3 cup (5 g) fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon high-quality extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard seed (or 2 tsp grainy mustard)
- large pinch of flaky salt, or to taste
Instructions
- Add the vinegar, oil, mustard, and salt to the base of a medium bowl and whisk until well combined. Toss in the cucumber, onion, and dill and fold into the dressing until everything is well incorporated.
- Allow to sit and marinate at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving, to allow the flavors to combine. You can also let this marinate in the frige for up to 1 hour before serving.
- Serve as desired; this salad is best served fresh, as leftovers will become soggy over time.
Notes
- I recommend using a mandoline to slice the cucumber and red onion as thinly as possible
- Red wine vinegar can be replaced with balsamic vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or another vinegar of your choice
- Oil-Free: the oil in this recipe helps to coat the vegetables and allow the vinegar and seasonings to stick; you can omit it if you’d like, but don’t be surprised if everything slides to the bottom of the bowl.
