Cucumber Salad Recipe

Ingredients

  • 3 small cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 1 small carrot, julienned or grated
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar (apple cider or white vinegar)
  • 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables: Wash and slice cucumbers, carrot, tomato, and red onion as indicated.
  2. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Combine salad: In a large bowl, add cucumbers, carrot, tomato, and red onion. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to coat.
  4. Add eggs: Chop the hard-boiled eggs and fold them into the salad carefully.
  5. Chill & serve: Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to let flavors combine. Serve chilled.

Tips

  • For extra crunch, add a few roasted sunflower seeds or walnuts.
  • Use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a lighter version.
  • Sprinkle a pinch of paprika or chaat masala for extra flavor.
  • Peel cucumbers if the skin is thick or waxed.
  • Make the salad 30 minutes ahead for the flavors to meld better.

If you want, I can also rewrite it in a short, viral-style FB/Instagram post for quick sharing with the USA/UK audience. It would be punchy, fun, and scroll-stopping.

Do you want me to do that?
