Dill Pea and Cucumber Salad (Our Sweet Basil Kitchen Cookbook Review)
This Dill Pea and Cucumber Salad blends fresh peas, crisp English cucumber slices, and halved cherry tomatoes to create a refreshing mix. The vegetables are lightly salted and peppered before dressing with a vinaigrette of olive oil, apple cider vinegar, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, and a dash of sugar. Fresh dill and crushed red pepper flakes finish the salad, offering bright herbal notes and subtle heat. It is served chilled shortly after dressing to maintain the crisp textures and avoid pickling the cucumbers.
