Recipe Directions
Let’s dive into the simple steps to create this crisp and flavorful Marinated Cucumber Salad with Red Onions:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey or maple syrup, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, chopped dill, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced cucumbers and red onions.
- Pour the marinade over the cucumbers and onions, tossing gently to coat them evenly.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the cucumbers to marinate.
- Once chilled, give the salad a final toss and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Transfer the salad to a serving dish, garnish with additional fresh dill if desired, and serve chilled.
