Ingredients
  • 1 large, peeled and sliced Cucumber
  • 2 medium, diced Tomatoes
  • 1/4 medium, thinly sliced Red Onion
  • 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh Dill
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Red Wine Vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper

Preparing the Vegetables

Peel the cucumber and slice it into thin rounds. Dice the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice the red onion. If the red onion is too strong, soak the slices in cold water for 10 minutes to mellow the flavor.

Making the Dill Vinaigrette

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, chopped fresh dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until emulsified.

Assembling the Salad

In a medium bowl, combine the sliced cucumber, diced tomatoes, and sliced red onion. Pour the dill vinaigrette over the vegetables and gently toss to coat evenly.

Chilling and Serving

For the best flavor, chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together. Serve cold.
