Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 orange bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup fresh dill, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Place the thin cucumber slices, red, yellow, and orange bell peppers, along with the red onion into a spacious mixing bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, blend together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and honey until smooth and combined.
  3. Drizzle this dressing evenly over the combined vegetables in the large bowl.
  4. Sprinkle the chopped fresh dill on top and gently mix to coat all the vegetables with the dressing.
  5. Season the salad with salt and pepper to your preference.
  6. Allow the salad to chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes so the flavors can meld.
  7. Serve the salad cool as a fresh side or a light main for a satisfying meal.

Notes

  • For a little extra texture, sprinkle in some chopped nuts or seeds. This salad also holds up well if prepared a few hours ahead of time. If you don't have dill, other fresh herbs can be used as a delicious substitute.
