Ingredients for Cucumber Salad

Here’s an overview of the ingredients. As always, you’ll find the exact quantities at the very bottom of the recipe card.

• Cucumbers: Snake cucumbers or English cucumbers work best here. They are long, thin, have a tender skin, and few seeds.
• Red onion or pre-pickled red onions
• Olive oil: I recommend using extra virgin olive oil.
• Vinegar: e.g., apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar
• Whole-grain mustard: Alternatively, regular mustard (medium-hot)
• Honey: alternatively, agave syrup or maple syrup
• Fresh herbs: basil, dill
• Spices: Salt, pepper, chili flakes (optional)
• Tip: Instead of fresh red onions, pink pickled onions add a special freshness and a hint of tartness.
