A light and refreshing cucumber and sweet pepper salad, perfect as a side dish or a healthy snack. This salad combines crisp cucumbers with colorful bell peppers and a tangy, slightly sweet dressing.

Ingredients

  • 2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and red onion.
