  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Wash the cucumber: Start by washing the cucumber thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or residues.

  5. Slice the cucumber: Slice the cucumber into thin rounds, about 1/8-inch thick, or to your preferred thickness.
  6. Transfer slices: Place the cucumber slices into a medium-sized bowl.
  7. Add olive oil: Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil evenly over the cucumber slices.
  8. Add lemon juice: Pour in 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to the bowl with the cucumber.
  9. Season with salt: Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the cucumber slices, ensuring even distribution.
  10. Season with pepper: Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper evenly over the cucumber slices.

  13. Toss ingredients: Gently toss the cucumber mixture with your hands or a spoon until all ingredients are well combined.
  14. Adjust seasoning: Taste the mixture and add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as preferred for balanced flavor.

  16. Serve: Serve immediately, or refrigerate for a short time to keep it fresh before serving.

Notes

  • This snack is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 hours for optimal crispness.
  • For extra crunch, consider chilling the cucumber before slicing.
  • You can substitute fresh dill with fresh mint or parsley for a different herbal note.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, especially if prepping in advance as flavors intensify over time.
  • Great served as a light side dish, part of a mezze platter, or a healthy snack.
