Refreshing Cucumber Onion Salad
This crisp and tangy cucumber onion salad is light, refreshing, and full of bright flavor. It’s the perfect side dish for grilled meats, rice dishes, or even as a quick healthy snack. With simple ingredients and minimal prep, this salad comes together in minutes.
Ingredients
2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 small green bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons vinegar (white or apple cider)
½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Wash and thinly slice the cucumbers into rounds. If the skin is thick, you can partially peel them for a softer texture. Thinly slice the red onion and green bell pepper.
In a large bowl, combine the cucumbers, onion, and bell pepper. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, salt, black pepper, oregano, and chili flakes.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss well to coat evenly. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top.
Let the salad sit for 15–20 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend. Serve chilled and enjoy this fresh, zesty side dish.
