A Crisp, Vibrant Side Dish Inspired by Jamie Oliver
Looking for a light, refreshing salad that comes together in minutes? This simple yet flavorful cucumber salad combines the sharpness of red onion, the freshness of dill, and the brightness of white wine vinegar. Finished with a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, it’s the perfect accompaniment to a summer meal — or a fresh appetizer on its own.
Ingredients
-
1 cucumber
-
½ red onion
-
White wine vinegar
-
A small bunch of fresh dill
-
Salt, to taste
Preparation
1. Prepare the Cucumber
Score the cucumber lengthwise with a fork to create deep grooves. Slice it diagonally into pieces about 1 cm thick and place in a large bowl.
2. Add the Red Onion
Peel and coarsely grate half a red onion using the large holes of a box grater. Add the grated onion to the cucumber.
3. Season and Flavor
Drizzle generously with white wine vinegar. Pick the leaves from the dill, finely chop them, and sprinkle over the salad.
4. Mix and Marinate
Toss everything together thoroughly. Season with salt to taste. Let the salad sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop and the salad to chill.
5. Finish with Olive Oil
Just before serving, drizzle generously with high-quality extra virgin olive oil to enhance the flavors and add a luxurious touch.
Serve as a refreshing starter or as a side dish to grilled meats, fish, or light Mediterranean dishes. Simple, elegant, and full of fresh flavors.
