Cucumber Salad

 Cucumber salad:

Ingredients

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

*thinly sliced 2 lb. Persian or English cucumbers (I use 3), cut into 1/4"-thick rounds.I peel in stripe pattern, removing half the peel before cutting into rounds. It looks pretty and my hubby likes it better with less peel.

*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

*1/4 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)! I normally don't add fresh dill and just use a few shakes of use dry dill and it tastes good that way too. 

Note: I usually double the dressing on this salad
