Ingredients
- 2 large cucumbers
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 red onion, finely sliced
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the cucumbers, then slice them into thin rounds. You can use a mandoline slicer for uniformity.
Step 2
Place the cucumber slices in a colander, sprinkle them with salt, and allow them to sit for about 10 minutes. This will help draw out excess moisture.
Step 3
In the meantime, finely chop the dill and slice the red onion thinly. Set aside.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, sugar, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 5
After the cucumbers have sat for 10 minutes, gently pat them dry with paper towels to remove any remaining moisture.
Step 6
In a large bowl, combine the cucumber slices, chopped dill, and sliced onions. Pour the dressing over the cucumber mixture and toss gently to combine.
Step 7
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish or light snack.
