Instructions
- Prep the cucumbers: Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds. For extra tenderness, peel them first (optional). Place slices in a bowl.

- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together: Olive oil; White wine vinegar (or lemon juice); Sugar or honey (if using); Salt; Black pepper
- Combine: Pour the dressing over the cucumbers and gently toss until well coated.
- Chill (optional): For best flavor, let the salad sit in the fridge for 10–15 minutes to allow the dill and dressing to infuse.
