Instructions:
- Wash the cucumbers thoroughly under running water.
- Peel the cucumbers, or leave the skin on if preferred.
- Slice the cucumbers thinly into rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.
- Place the sliced cucumbers in a large mixing bowl.
- Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice into a small mixing bowl, ensuring to remove any seeds. You should have about 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
- Finely chop the fresh dill and add it to the bowl with the lemon juice.
- Add the sugar to the lemon juice and dill mixture.
- Stir in the mayonnaise salad dressing until all the ingredients are well combined.
- Pour the lemon-dill dressing over the sliced cucumbers in the large mixing bowl.
- Toss the cucumbers gently to ensure they are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the cucumbers to chill.
- Before serving, give the salad a gentle toss to redistribute the dressing.
- Serve the lemon-dill cucumber salad cold, as a refreshing side dish.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, let the salad sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
- If you prefer a lighter version, substitute the mayonnaise salad dressing with Greek yogurt.
- Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste, elevating the flavors even further.
- Using fresh dill will provide the most robust flavor, but dried dill can be used in a pinch.
- Slice the cucumbers thinly and evenly to ensure they absorb the dressing uniformly.
In just a few simple steps, you can prepare this delightful Lemon-dill cucumber salad that is both refreshing and flavorful. Perfect as a side dish or a light snack, it’s an easy and delicious way to enjoy fresh cucumbers. Give it a try and enjoy the burst of flavors in every bite!
