Easy Cucumber Salad
Description
This salad combines thin slices of English cucumber and red onion with a light dressing whisked from white vinegar, water, maple syrup, salt, and pepper. The vinaigrette balances acidity with a touch of sweetness from the maple syrup. The ingredients are mixed well and can be served immediately for a crisp texture or chilled for 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the cucumbers to absorb the dressing more fully.
The salad is simple yet versatile, pairing well with a wide range of meals as a refreshing palate cleanser or side dish. Adding fresh dill is optional but provides a subtle herbal note that complements the cucumber and onion.

- 2 large cucumber thinly sliced, English
- ½ red onion thinly sliced
- ¼ cup white vinegar
- ¼ cup water

Instructions
- Add cucumbers and onions to a medium bowl.
- Whisk together vinegar, water, maple syrup, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
