I think we’re all running around these days looking for healthy recipes to add to our routines. Not like maniacs of course. But with all the information right at our fingertips, we’re always searching for recipes that are quick and easy, but also healthy. Recipes that call for more whole foods and less of that processed stuff.

Because sometimes, plain raw fruits and vegetables can get boring. Especially for the little ones in our homes. Don’t worry. I’ve got something for you.

This recipe takes cucumbers to the next level. By adding a few ingredients and letting the cucumbers marinate in them, you get a wonderful dish that makes the perfect starter, side, or snack.

All you need is 8 simple ingredients to make these marinated cucumbers. And I bet you’ve already got a majority of them at home.

So what do you marinate your cucumbers in?

Salt and pepper. Of course. Have you ever dipped cucumbers in just salt and pepper? Yummy!

EVOO. It adds the perfect taste.

White vinegar. Don’t worry. This won’t be overbearing. It adds just the right amount of acidity.

Sugar. It balances everything out quite nicely.

Garlic. For an earthy taste. And honestly, adding garlic almost always makes everything better.

Dill. For freshness.

Toss these ingredients around with your sliced cucumbers and let it all sit for about 20 minutes.

Voila! You’ve got easy, delicious, and quickly marinated cucumbers that everyone will enjoy.
