Wash the Vegetables: Start by thoroughly washing the cucumbers and sweet peppers under cool running water, using a vegetable brush to remove any dirt. This ensures a fresh and crisp flavor in your Cucumber Sweet Pepper Salad. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to prepare for slicing.

Slice the Vegetables: Next, slice the cucumbers into thin rounds, aiming for uniform thickness to enhance the salad’s visual appeal. Then, cut the sweet peppers into thin strips, exposing their vibrant colors. Use a sharp knife and a cutting board for safety and precision as you prepare these colorful ingredients.

Make the Dressing: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together ¼ cup of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, juice from half a lemon, and 1 tablespoon of honey until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This dressing will bring brightness and flavor to your Cucumber Sweet Pepper Salad, so taste and adjust the sweetness or acidity as needed.

Combine Vegetables: In a large serving bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, sweet peppers, and thinly sliced red onion. Toss them gently to mix the colors and textures, creating an inviting medley. The freshness of these vegetables is essential, so make sure everything is evenly distributed in the bowl.

Dress the Salad: Pour the dressing over the tossed vegetables, ensuring an even coat. Use a large spoon to gently toss the Cucumber Sweet Pepper Salad until all pieces are well coated in the dressing.

Add Fresh Dill: Chop a handful of fresh dill and sprinkle it on top of the coated vegetables. Toss the salad gently once more to distribute the dill.

Chill Before Serving: Cover the salad with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.

Toss and Serve: Before serving, give the salad another gentle toss to redistribute any settled ingredients.
