• 0.25 cup white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 0.25 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the cucumbers. Slice them thinly using a knife or mandoline, about 1/8-inch thick. Place the slices in a large bowl.

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the red onion. Add the onion slices to the bowl with the cucumbers.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, granulated sugar, salt, black pepper, and water until the sugar and salt are dissolved.

Step 4

Finely chop the fresh dill and add it to the cucumber and onion mixture in the large bowl.

Step 5

Pour the vinegar mixture over the cucumbers and onions. Toss everything together until the cucumbers and onions are evenly coated.

Step 6

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, chill for 1-2 hours.

Step 7

Serve the cucumbers chilled as a side dish or snack. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
