Cucumber salad with garlic

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 10 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a salad of cucumbers and tomatoes with herbs? Very simple and fast! To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. You can supplement the vegetable part according to your taste, for example, crackers or onions. Any vegetable oil will do, preferably fragrant, unrefined. I have sunflower.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the cucumbers and cut into thin slices. Of course, it is more convenient and faster to cut cucumbers using a special grater. However, if you don’t have a grater, you can use a regular knife. If the cucumbers have too hard skin, it is better to peel it. The same applies to seeds: in large overripe cucumbers, the seeds can be hard, so it’s better to get rid of them too.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash the dill, dry and finely chop. If you wish, you can replace or supplement with other herbs, for example, parsley, green onions, mint, spinach, wild garlic, or use a mixture of different herbs.

4. STEP 4

   

   In a bowl, combine cucumbers, dill and garlic cloves passed through a press. I have young, vigorous garlic. Therefore, two large cloves were enough. If the garlic has already been lying down, you can take 3 cloves.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour vegetable oil over the salad, add salt and mix. Let the salad stand for 5 minutes and soak thoroughly. In addition to these spices, you can add your own to taste, then the salad will sparkle with new colors. Khmeli-suneli or utskho-suneli, ground coriander, etc. will do.

6. STEP 6

   

   Serve cucumber salad with garlic and dill. Bon appetit!

For lunch I made a cucumber and garlic salad. This is actually a very simple and super quick recipe! I cut the cucumbers with a knife, added 2 large cloves of garlic chopped on a fine grater and chopped dill. Dressed the salad with fragrant sunflower oil. It seems so simple, but so delicious!!! Mmmm... You'll lick your fingers! This salad cannot be stored; it must be eaten immediately, as cucumbers begin to release juice very quickly. Next time I will experiment with adding different greens. I'll start with arugula

For dinner I quickly made a cucumber and garlic salad. My cucumber is smooth with a thin skin. If the skin is rough, it is better to cut it off. One large fruit was enough for me for a salad for two people. Dill was washed and dried well. It is tender and juicy, and when cut, such a fragrant aroma appears! A clove of garlic was passed through a press and mixed with olive oil. I decided to add red onion to the salad, which I cut into quarter rings and marinated in a small amount of apple cider vinegar. Mixed all the ingredients and sprinkled with Himalayan salt. The salad literally smells like freshness and spring! It's delicious, crispy, spicy! It is better to serve it immediately before the cucumbers release their juice.
