How To Make Cucumber And Red Onion Salad
You only need a handful of simple ingredients to make this quick and easy cucumber salad recipe.
- English Cucumbers – I like to use long English cucumbers, which are seedless. But you can use any type of cucumbers you like.
- Red Onion – This type of onion is a little milder when raw, which makes them great for salads. But any kind of onion you have on hand will work perfectly.
- Olive Oil – Extra virgin olive oil will add the most flavor.
- Apple Cider Vinegar – A touch of cider vinegar is used to make the dressing. Feel free to use other types of vinegar if you like.
- Seasonings – Salt and black pepper are used to season the salad.
To start, wash the cucumbers and peel them if you like. Then slice them and put them in a large bowl. Now, peel and slice the red onion and put it into the bowl with the cucumbers.
Next, make the dressing by whisking the olive oil together with the apple cider vinegar in a small bowl. Then pour the dressing over the cucumbers and onion. Now, sprinkle them with a bit of salt and black pepper.
Finally, toss everything together well and serve the salad immediately or put it in the fridge for up to 4 days!
