Instructions
Creating this incredible cucumber salad is simple when you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Prepare Cucumbers: Wash and peel the cucumbers as desired. Cut them into thin slices or half-moons.
2. Slice Onion: Thinly slice the red onion and set it aside.
3. Mix Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, red onion, chopped dill, and cherry tomatoes.
4. Make Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, olive oil, honey (or sugar), salt, and pepper.
5. Combine: Pour the dressing over the cucumber mixture and gently toss to coat all elements evenly.
6. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese (if using) over the salad and gently mix to distribute.
