Ingredients
- 2 large cucumber
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 0.5 cup white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Wash the cucumbers and peel them partially, leaving some stripes of skin intact for texture and appearance.
Step 2
Slice the cucumbers thinly, about 1/8 inch thick, using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer. Place the slices in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Peel the onion and slice it thinly into rings. Separate the rings and add them to the bowl with the cucumbers.
Step 4
Chop the fresh dill finely and sprinkle it over the cucumbers and onions.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, granulated sugar, salt, black pepper, and water until the sugar and salt are fully dissolved.
Step 6
Pour the vinegar mixture over the cucumbers and onions, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Step 7
Gently toss the cucumbers and onions with the dressing using a pair of tongs or your hands until well mixed.
Step 8
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, let it marinate for 2-3 hours.
Step 9
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving. Serve chilled as a side dish.
