Recipe: Russian Cucumber Salad
Ingredients:
- 2 large cucumbers
- 1 large tomato
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1/2 bunch of fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Wash the cucumbers, tomato, and bell pepper thoroughly. Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds. Dice the tomato and bell pepper into small pieces. Finely chop the fresh dill.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, diced tomato, diced bell pepper, and chopped dill.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the cucumber mixture and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Allow the salad to marinate for at least 15 minutes in the refrigerator before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the Russian cucumber salad chilled as a refreshing side dish or as a topping for bread or crackers.
