Ingredients
- 1 1 english cucumber, cut into quarters and chopped
- 1/4 1/4 red onion, thinly slivered
- 3 tablespoons 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 4 tablespoons 4 tablespoons olive oil
- pinch pinch of white sugar
- sprinkle of garlic powder (I really encourage using garlic powder as opposed to fresh in this salad. It adds a nice flavor without making it too garlicky).
- 2 large pinches 2 large pinches of kosher salt
- 5-6 5-6 grinds black pepper
Preparation
Step 1
When I make this salad, I don’t do anything fancy. I don’t whisk the dressing together prior to mixing the salad together. I don’t salt my cucumbers first, in an attempt to draw their moisture out.
All I do is chop the veggies and dump them in the bowl. I pour everything else on top (honestly, I don’t even measure) and stir it to combine. I taste it a few minutes later and adjust the flavors a bit, if necessary (if my dill is old, which it often is, I add a bit more). Then I let it sit until dinner time. If there’s any leftover, I eat it out of the bowl while cleaning up.
