Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 large cucumbers (English or Persian)

  • 1/2 red onion, very thinly sliced

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill

  • 1 tbsp lemon zest

  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • Optional: crumbled feta or shaved parmesan

Instructions

  1. Slice cucumbers into long thin ribbons using a vegetable peeler or mandoline.

  2. Pat cucumber ribbons dry with a towel to remove extra moisture.

  3. Add ribbons to a large bowl with sliced red onion, dill, lemon zest, lemon juice, and olive oil.

  4. Season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to mix everything.

  5. Chill for 5–10 minutes before serving.

  6. Top with feta or parmesan if using. Serve cold.

Notes

  • Use firm cucumbers so the ribbons hold shape.

  • Keeps well in the fridge for 1–2 days.

  • For extra crunch, add nuts or seeds.

  • Add grilled chicken or hard-boiled eggs to make it a full meal.
