Description
A refreshing and easy cucumber onion salad featuring thinly sliced cucumbers and red onions in a tangy apple cider vinegar dressing, perfect for a quick side dish.
Ingredients
- 2 medium cucumbers
- 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- Thinly slice the cucumbers into ¼-inch rounds. If using standard cucumbers with thick skins, you may peel them first.
- Slice the red onion into delicate half-moons. Combine the sliced cucumbers and red onion in a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate small bowl or jar, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, water, granulated sugar, fine sea salt, and ground black pepper to create the dressing.
- Pour the prepared dressing over the cucumber and onion mixture and toss gently to ensure everything is thoroughly coated.
- Refrigerate the salad until it’s time to serve. Allowing it to chill for at least an hour will let the flavors meld beautifully.
Notes
- This salad is best served chilled and can be made ahead of time.
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
