Notes
You can use English cucumbers or regular cucumbers for this recipe. I prefer English cucumbers because there are less seeds and they're a smidge sweeter.
I used a combination of red, orange and green bell peppers for this recipe, but use any combination you have on hand.
Definitely use fresh dill for this salad over dried.
