Logan’s Cucumber Salad is a quick and easy cucumber salad recipe made with thinly sliced cucumbers, red onion, and a flavorful vinegar-based dressing. It’s light, crunchy, and packed with fresh dill flavor—making it one of the best healthy summer salads you can whip up in just 10 minutes.
Ingredients:
Here’s what you’ll need:
2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tsp dried dill)
1/4 cup white vinegar (apple cider vinegar works too)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp sugar (optional, to balance acidity)
Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Use a sharp knife or mandoline for paper-thin slices. Peel them if the skins are thick.
Toss cucumbers with a pinch of salt. Let sit for 10–15 minutes, then pat dry. This keeps the salad crisp.
In a bowl, whisk together vinegar, olive oil, sugar (if using), salt, and pepper.
Add cucumbers, red onions, and dill to the bowl. Toss well to coat evenly.
Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the flavors marinate. Serve cold.
