Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 4 cups English or Japanese cucumbers, about 4-6 depending on size
- 2.5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- First, gather your mise en place (mi ˑ zɑ̃ ˑ plas).
- Next, wash your cucumbers well. Slice them thinly into ⅛ inch thick slices using a knife or mandoline. I use a mandoline to achieve those beautiful perfect slices.*
- Pour the lemon juice, dill and sea salt into the bowl and mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning if need.
- Serve immediately or let chill for 20 or more minutes then serve.**
Notes
*I think a mandoline is a wonderful kitchen gadget worth investing in. Mine is by Benriner and I absolutely love it. Along with the standard slicer, it comes with 3 blade attachments to make different sized julienne cuts, which I use for zucchini noodles, carrots, squash...you name it!
**As this salad sits, the salt will naturally pull the water out of the cucumbers. The cucumbers may be sitting in more liquid than you remember when you go to serve, nothing to worry about!
