Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Wash and Prepare Cucumber

    Thoroughly wash the cucumbers under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.

  2. 2

    Slice the Cucumber

    Using a sharp knife, slice the cucumbers into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.

  3. 3

    Season the Cucumber

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat the cucumber evenly.

  4. 4

    Add Fresh Dill

    Chop the fresh dill finely and add it to the cucumber mixture. Toss again to combine all ingredients well.

  5. 5

    Chill and Serve

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled as a refreshing salad or side dish.
