Easy Cucumber and Carrot Salad Recipe
This simple cucumber and carrot salad is a fresh side dish that can be prepared quickly with a few basic ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 cucumber
- 1 carrot
- Fresh herbs if desired
- A small amount of olive oil
- Lemon juice or another suitable dressing
- Salt to taste
Preparation
Wash the vegetables thoroughly. Peel them if desired, then slice or grate the cucumber and carrot according to your preferred texture.
Place the vegetables in a bowl and add a small amount of olive oil and lemon juice. Mix gently so the dressing coats the vegetables evenly.
Add Extra Flavor
Fresh parsley, dill or mint can add more aroma. You may also include other vegetables that complement the salad.
Serve Fresh
Cucumber releases water after being cut, so this salad is usually best served shortly after preparation. If preparing it in advance, you may prefer to add the dressing closer to serving time.
This light salad can be served alongside many everyday meals and is easy to customize according to your taste.
