Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make cucumber salad with garlic? Very simple and fast! To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. You can add the vegetable part to your taste, for example, crackers or onions. Any vegetable oil will do, preferably fragrant, unrefined. I have sunflower.

Step 2

Step 2
Wash the cucumbers and cut into thin slices. Of course, it is more convenient and faster to cut cucumbers using a special grater. However, if you don’t have a grater, you can use a regular knife. If the cucumbers have too hard skin, it is better to peel it. The same applies to seeds: in large overripe cucumbers, the seeds can be hard, so it’s better to get rid of them too.

Step 3

Step 3
Wash the dill, dry and finely chop. If you wish, you can replace or supplement with other herbs, for example, parsley, green onions, mint, spinach, wild garlic, or use a mixture of different herbs.

Step 4

Step 4
In a bowl, combine cucumbers, dill and garlic cloves passed through a press. I have young, vigorous garlic. Therefore, two large cloves were enough. If the garlic has already been lying down, you can take 3 cloves.

Step 5

Step 5
Pour vegetable oil over the salad, add salt and mix. Let the salad stand for 5 minutes and soak thoroughly. In addition to these spices, you can add your own to taste, then the salad will sparkle with new colors. Khmeli-suneli or utskho-suneli, ground coriander, etc. will do.
