Cucumber Salad

 Cucumber salad:

Ingredients

*Approximately 1/3rd red onion, halved lengthwise and chopped some more. 

*thinly sliced 2 lb. Persian or English cucumbers, cut into 1/4"-thick rounds (I use the salad shooter and just go with the thickness it makes the rounds. They are very thin).

*2 tsp (or more) kosher salt,

divided

*2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

*1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar

*1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice (or use one packet dried). 

*1 Tbsp. whole-grain mustard

*1 tsp. honey or hot honey (if desired) 

*1/4 tsp. black pepper

*1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

*1/3 cup chopped fresh dill (I don’t use nearly that much. Just add some in the salad as desired)!

*1/4 cup thinly sliced chives (I think that is too many chives! Use as many as you want).
