Salad Ingredients
- 2 Cucumbers (Hot House or English Cucumbers)
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Minced Garlic (about 2 cloves)
- 3 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 3 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 3 Teaspoons Dried Dill Weed (or 3 Tablespoons Fresh Dill Weed)
- 2 Teaspoons Salt
- 1 Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Cucumbers: Cut each cucumber in half lengthwise, then slice into approximately 1/2 inch chunks. Keeping the pieces chunky prevents sogginess and maintains a satisfying crunch.
- Add Marinade Ingredients: In a bowl with a lid, combine the cucumber chunks with fresh minced garlic, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, dried dill weed, salt, and ground black pepper.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir all ingredients together thoroughly to ensure every cucumber piece is well coated with the flavorful marinade for an even taste.
- Marinate: Cover the bowl with the lid and refrigerate for 1 hour, allowing the cucumbers to absorb all the bright, tangy flavors.
Notes
- Use hot house or English cucumbers as they have fewer seeds and a thinner skin, which enhances texture.
- For a fresher flavor, replace dried dill weed with fresh dill if available.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste if you prefer a stronger or milder seasoning.
- This salad is best served chilled and consumed within 2 days for maximum freshness.
