This refreshing Cucumber Carrot Salad combines crisp vegetables with a light, tangy dressing, making it the perfect healthy side dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and julienned or grated
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh dill or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing the cucumber and carrots. Slice the cucumber thinly for crunch. Peel and julienne or grate the carrots for texture.
  2. If using, thinly slice the red onion and add it to the mix.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white vinegar (or lemon juice), and honey (or maple syrup). Add salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss everything together until well coated.
  5. Garnish with fresh dill or parsley, if desired, for a pop of color and flavor.
  6. Serve immediately or refrigerate for about 15–20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Notes

  • For extra creaminess, add crumbled feta or goat cheese.
  • For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes or a small diced chili.
  • For added crunch, sprinkle in some sunflower seeds or slivered almonds.
  • Try substituting honey with agave syrup if preferred.
