Chilled Marinated Cucumbers (Gluten-Free)

Celiac.com 07/19/2023 - The star of this recipe is the cool, humble cucumber, which becomes the perfect canvas for absorbing the vibrant marinade. Sliced into thin rounds, the cucumbers offer a satisfying crunch and a subtle, refreshing taste. 

The marinade brings a harmonious combination of flavors to the dish. The vinegar adds a pleasant tang, while the sugar balances it with a touch of sweetness. The olive oil lends a smooth richness, and the aromatic oregano and dried marjoram infuse the cucumbers with a subtle herbaceous note. A sprinkle of garlic powder adds a savory element, while the lemon-pepper seasoning adds a zingy citrus twist.
