Ingredients:
2 medium cucumbers, thinly sliced
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh dill or parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
Prepare the Cucumbers:
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and slice them thinly using a knife or mandolin slicer. If you prefer, you can peel the cucumbers before slicing, but leaving the skin on adds a nice texture and color to the salad.
Make the Dressing:
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the mayonnaise, honey, vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until the dressing is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.
Toss the Cucumbers:
Place the sliced cucumbers in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the cucumbers and gently toss to coat all the slices evenly. Make sure each cucumber slice is well-covered with the creamy dressing.
