For this easy cucumber salad recipe, we look to theclassic dill picklefor inspiration. But it’s not the cukes getting pickled here. Instead, you’ll marinate red onions in a mustardy vinegar brine sweetened with honey. Thirty minutes later that brine becomes the salad dressing when tossed with sliced cucumber ribbons and fresh dill.

Our preference for this salad is to use English cucumbers or smaller Persian cucumbers, which both have tender skins and minimal seeds. Avoid common cucumbers, which have waxy skin and watery flesh. To minimize any bitterness,slice off the ends of the cucumber, then use avegetable peelerormandolineto make even slices that run the length of the vegetable.

This minimal-effortsummer salad, which requires just 30 minutes of mostly hands-off prep time, is a great side dish for cookouts and potlucks and also works well as part of anappetizerorbrunchspread. The snappy texture of the fresh cucumbers and bright flavor of the dressing means this dish will play nicely with a wide variety of mains, includinggrilled chicken,roast pork, orfried falafel.

We made this as a side with grilled ahi tuna and it was a hit. Would make twice as much next time! Maybe a little less onion than called for but it was bright and refreshing with the tuna!

Lovely pungent, tart crunchy salad. Perfect as a topping for hamburgers or on its own as a pickley salad next to potato chips. Made it for the first time and someone stopped me to tell me how excellent it was.
