Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Start by washing the cucumbers and sweet peppers. Slice cucumbers into thin rounds and cut sweet peppers into strips or bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and honey until smooth and slightly thickened.
In a mixing bowl, toss together the sliced cucumbers, sweet pepper strips, and finely chopped red onion. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently.
Sprinkle chopped dill over the salad and toss gently again to distribute.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving.
