- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Step 1
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly under running water, then slice them thinly into rounds. You can use a mandoline slicer for evenly thin slices if available.
Step 2
Peel and thinly slice the red onion into half-moon shapes.
Step 3
Finely chop the fresh dill, removing any tough stems.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, maple syrup, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture until well combined.
Step 5
Add the sliced cucumbers, red onion, and chopped dill to the mixing bowl. Toss them gently in the dressing to ensure they are coated evenly.
Step 6
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. For a stronger flavor, let it marinate for up to 2 hours.
