Ingredients
Instructions
-
Start by washing the cucumbers thoroughly under cold running water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
-
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the cucumbers into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick. You can also opt to peel the cucumbers if desired, though leaving the skin on adds extra texture and nutrition.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
-
Drizzle the seasoning mixture over the cucumber slices, ensuring each slice is lightly coated. Gently toss the cucumber slices to evenly distribute the flavors.
-
Let the cucumber slices marinate in the seasoning for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. For a more intense flavor, you can refrigerate them for up to an hour.
-
Once ready to serve, arrange the seasoned cucumber slices on a platter or plate. Sprinkle some fresh dill or parsley on top for an extra burst of freshness and color.
-
These Anytime Cucumber Slices are best enjoyed chilled, straight from the refrigerator. Serve them as a standalone snack or pair them with your favorite dips or spreads for added variety.
