Here’s a simple and refreshing marinated cucumber salad you can make in a few minutes.
🥒 Marinated Cucumber Salad
Ingredients
- 2–3 cucumbers (sliced thin)
- 2 tbsp vinegar (white or apple cider)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional, for extra freshness)
- 1–2 tsp sugar (or honey)
- ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ tsp black pepper or chili flakes
- 1–2 cloves garlic (finely chopped or grated)
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil (optional but nice)
- Fresh dill or coriander (optional)
Instructions
- Slice cucumbers thinly (you can peel them or leave skin on).
- In a bowl, mix vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, salt, pepper, and garlic.
- Add cucumbers and toss well so they’re coated.
- Add olive oil and herbs if using.
- Let it marinate for at least 20–30 minutes in the fridge.
- Serve cold.
💡 Tips
- For extra crunch, add sliced onions or radish.
- For a spicy version, add green chili or chili flakes.
- It tastes better after sitting for a few hours.
If you want, I can also give you a Korean-style spicy cucumber salad or creamy yogurt version.
