Method
- Begin by preparing your cucumbers. Peel them to remove the waxy skin, then slice them in half lengthwise. Gently scoop out the seedy core using a spoon. Once seeded, thinly slice the cucumber halves into rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. Next, prepare your bell peppers. Wash them, then cut them in half and remove the seeds and white membranes. Thinly slice the red and yellow bell peppers into strips. Peel and thinly slice the red onion.2 large cucumbers, 1 large red bell pepper, 1 large yellow bell pepper, 1/2 red onion
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, sliced red and yellow bell peppers, and thinly sliced red onion. Add the chopped fresh dill and chopped fresh parsley to the bowl. Gently toss the vegetables together to distribute them evenly.2 large cucumbers, 1 large red bell pepper, 1 large yellow bell pepper, 1/2 red onion, 1/4 cup fresh dill, 1/4 cup fresh parsley
- In a separate small bowl or a jar with a lid, combine the olive oil, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and sugar. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. If using a bowl, whisk the ingredients together vigorously until the dressing is emulsified. If using a jar, seal the lid tightly and shake well until thoroughly combined.1/3 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup white wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon sugar, salt, freshly ground black pepper
- Pour the prepared dressing over the vegetable mixture in the large bowl. Gently toss the salad again to coat all the ingredients evenly with the dressing. Make sure every piece of vegetable is touched by the flavorful dressing.1/3 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup white wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon sugar, salt, freshly ground black pepper, 2 large cucumbers, 1 large red bell pepper, 1 large yellow bell pepper, 1/2 red onion, 1/4 cup fresh dill, 1/4 cup fresh parsley
- For the best flavor, cover the bowl and refrigerate the Viral Cucumber Sweet Pepper Salad for at least 15-30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully. If you plan to serve it immediately, you can skip this chilling step, but it does make a difference.
- Before serving, if desired, you can gently toss in some crumbled feta cheese or goat cheese for an extra pop of creamy, salty flavor that complements the crisp vegetables wonderfully.1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese or goat cheese
