Refreshing Lemon Dill & Garlic Cucumber Snack Bites

Ingredients

- 1 large cucumber, dried
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cucumber
- Slice the dried cucumber into thin, chip-like rounds using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer. Aim for uniform thickness to ensure even dressing application.

2. Make the Dressing
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice and lemon zest to form a citrus base.
- Add the chopped dill and minced garlic, stirring them into the lemon mixture.

3. Season and Mix
- Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the lemon mixture, blending them well.
- Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously to create a well-emulsified vinaigrette.

4. Combine Ingredients
- In a large bowl, place the cucumber slices. Pour the lemon dill dressing over the cucumber slices.
- Gently toss the cucumber slices to ensure they are evenly coated with the dressing, taking care not to break the slices.

5. Final Touches
- Allow the dressed cucumber bites to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to enhance the flavors.
- Before serving, give the snack bites a final stir to redistribute the dressing.
