Ingredients
- 3 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 large English cucumbers approximately 1 3/4 pounds
- 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons honey
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice (fresh squeezed) approximately 1 lime
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh dill chopped
- 1/4 red onion thinly sliced
- fresh black pepper and salt to taste
Instructions
- Thinly slice cucumbers so that they are a thickness of about 1/8” thick.
- Place sliced cucumbers in a colander, sprinkle with salt and stir to coat. Place the colander in the sink to dispose of the residual liquid pulled from the cucumbers. Once all moisture has been drawn from the cucumbers, rinse well with cold water.
- In a large salad bowl, whisk together vinegar, honey, and lime juice, and add red pepper flakes. Slowly pour in olive oil while whisking until fully incorporated and emulsified.
- Add sliced onions to the dressing and let them sit for 5 minutes to marinate.
- Add sliced cucumbers to the bowl and gently stir to coat.
- Add chopped dill and stir to combine. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.

Notes
- This salad is best eaten the day it is made to maintain the best crunch and texture. If you have leftover cucumber salad, store tightly covered in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. It does start to get soggy pretty quickly.
