Cucumber Salad
Ingredients
- 1 Small red onion, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced
- 2 lb. English cucumbers, cut into 1/4"-thick rounds
- 2 1/4 tsp. (or more) Kosher salt, divided
- 2 Tbsp. Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 Tbsp. Apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. Fresh lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp. Whole-grain mustard
- 1 tsp. Honey
- 1/4 tsp. Black pepper
- 1/4 tsp. Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/3 C. Chopped fresh dill
- 1/4 C. Thinly sliced chives
Instructions
Place onions in a small bowl of ice water; let soak 15 minutes.
Place cucumbers in a colander set over a bowl, then toss with 2 teaspoons salt. Let sit, tossing occasionally, until cucumbers release their water, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix oil, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, honey, black pepper, red pepper (if using), and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Remove excess water from cucumbers by blotting with paper towels, then transfer to a large bowl.
Drain onions and add to bowl, along with dressing, dill, and chives.
Toss well to combine. Let sit until salad absorbs some of the dressing, about 15 minutes; season with more salt, if needed.
