Hey everyone , I’m diving into what a cucumber salad might include and I’d love your insights . Often, this refreshing dish combines thinly sliced cucumbers with a tangy vinaigrette. Ingredients can vary, but typically, red onions, dill, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper play starring roles. Sometimes, yogurt or sour cream adds a creamy texture. Curious to know, do you all prefer keeping yours simple or adding a twist?

Thinly sliced cucumbers, red onions or shallots, and fresh herbs like dill or parsley are commonly used in this dish. It is typically served with a basic vinaigrette comprising olive oil, vinegar (like white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar), and a hint of sugar or honey to offset the acidity.

I like to keep it classic, but a twist of feta cheese and a sprinkle of sumac takes cucumber salad to the next level!

Cucumber salad is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many ways. I personally like to keep mine simple with just cucumbers, red onion, and a vinaigrette. But I'm always open to trying new things!
