Cucumbers are not just crisp and refreshing—they are also low in calories, high in water content, and packed with essential vitamins and minerals, making them a perfect ingredient for a healthy, weight-loss-friendly salad. This cucumber salad is simple, quick to prepare, and bursting with flavor. With just a few ingredients, you can create a dish that’s both satisfying and nourishing.

Ingredients:

2 medium cucumbers, thinly sliced
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
1 teaspoon honey (optional for a touch of sweetness)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional: 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Step-by-Step Method:

Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables

Start by washing the cucumbers thoroughly. Slice them thinly using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer for uniform thickness. Thin slices allow the dressing to coat the cucumbers evenly. Peel them if you prefer, though keeping the skin adds extra fiber and nutrients.

Slice the red onion as thinly as possible to avoid overpowering the delicate cucumber flavor. Halve the cherry tomatoes for a burst of sweetness in every bite.
