This Fresh Cucumber Salad recipe is a delightfully simple and refreshing dish that’s perfect for a light summer meal or as a side for grilled meats. The combination of crisp cucumbers, fragrant dill, and zesty vinegar creates a burst of flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale

Cucumbers

  • 1 lb cucumbers (4–5 medium-sized)

Flavorings

  • 1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
  • 2 heaping tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sunflower oil or olive oil (add more if needed)
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prep the Cucumbers – Wash the cucumbers thoroughly. Cut each cucumber in half lengthwise. Slice each half into 3–4 long strips, then cut the strips into smaller pieces. Place the sliced cucumbers into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Step 2: Add Flavor – Finely chop the fresh dill and press or mince the garlic. Add both to the bowl of cucumbers. Drizzle the oil and vinegar over the mixture.
  3. Step 3: Season and Combine – Sprinkle in a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Toss all the ingredients together until the cucumbers are evenly coated.
  4. Step 4: Serve or Refrigerate – Serve immediately for the freshest flavor. If refrigerating, hold off on adding salt and pepper until serving time to prevent the cucumbers from releasing too much liquid.
