Instructions

Prepare the ingredients: Thinly slice the cucumbers and red onion. You can peel the cucumbers or leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients.
Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and optional sweetener. Stir until the sweetener dissolves.
Combine the salad: In a large bowl, add the cucumber slices, red onion, and fresh dill. If using garlic powder or minced garlic, add it now.
Toss and season: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until evenly coated. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Chill and serve: Let the salad sit for at least 10 minutes for the flavors to meld. For enhanced flavor, refrigerate for 30 minutes or more before serving.

Notes

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Stir before serving as cucumbers may release water over time.

Reheating: This salad is best served cold, so reheating is not recommended.

Customization: Add protein, spicy ingredients, or other vegetables for a more filling meal.
