Cucumber Lemon Dill (Print Version)

Chilled cucumber bites are mixed with dill, a squeeze of lemon, olive oil, and a dusting of black pepper for a light, tasty snack.

# Ingredients:

→ Main

01 - 1 whole cucumber

→ Dressing

02 - 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped fine
03 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice
04 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
05 - A dash of salt
06 - A shake of black pepper

# Steps:

01 - Eat right away, or if you want it cold, pop it in the fridge for a bit before munching.
02 - See if you want more salt or anything else. Let it sit a few minutes so everything soaks in.
03 - Mix everything gently with clean hands or a spoon so it’s all coated nicely.
04 - Toss in your chopped dill to the bowl and get ready for a herby kick.
05 - Drop lemon juice over the top, add salt and pepper how you like it.
06 - Pour the olive oil all over those slices so they get a good shine.
07 - Toss the cut cucumber in a big enough bowl so you’ve got space to mix.
08 - Chop your cucumber into circles, as thin or chunky as you feel like—3 mm is just an idea.
09 - On a flat board, lop off both tips with a sharp knife.
10 - Dry it off with a clean towel so it isn't watery.
11 - Give your cucumber a good rinse under cool water. Rub gently to get any dirt off.

# Notes:

01 - Keeping the skin gives extra crispiness and good stuff for your body.
02 - Only have dried dill? No problem. Use half what you would if it was fresh.
03 - Can’t get enough tang? Add more lemon juice for a sharper bite.
04 - You can make this snack ahead and stash it in the fridge for a couple of hours if you want.
05 - Crumbled feta or a handful of nuts can make it more filling, if you're after that.
