Instructions
To make this delicious cucumber and tomato salad, start by rinsing the cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onion thoroughly. Once they are clean, slice them into thin pieces using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer.
Next, take a large salad in a large bowl and place all the sliced vegetables into it. To add some flavor, chop some fresh dill and sprinkle it over the vegetables. Be sure to mix everything well so that the dill is evenly distributed throughout the salad.
Now, it’s time to add some seasoning. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste over the salad and mix it well. Remember to start with a small amount of salt and pepper, as you can always add more later if needed.
To add some tanginess to the salad, drizzle some olive oil or avocado oil over the vegetables. Then, squeeze the juice of a fresh lemon over the vegetables. The amount of oil and lemon juice you use will depend on your personal preferences, so feel free to adjust accordingly.
Finally, mix all the vegetables together until they are well-coated with the seasoning and dressing.
Notes
Add seasoning and dressing to the veggies immediately before serving the salad, or it will water too much. It would still be very delicious, just not as presentable.
