Ingredients
- 2 large Cucumber
- 0.5 cup White vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 small Red onion
Directions
Step 1
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and pat them dry. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, thinly slice the cucumbers into even rounds, about 1/8 inch thick.
Step 2
Peel and thinly slice half of a small red onion into very fine strips. Set aside.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, combine white vinegar, granulated sugar, water, salt, and ground black pepper. Whisk the mixture until the sugar and salt are fully dissolved.
Step 4
Add the sliced cucumbers and red onion to the bowl. Toss gently to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated with the vinegar mixture.
Step 5
Finely chop the fresh dill and sprinkle it over the salad. Stir gently to distribute the dill evenly.
Step 6
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. For best results, refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
Step 7
Before serving, give the salad a quick stir and taste. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Step 8
Serve cold as a refreshing side dish, garnished with extra dill if desired. Enjoy!
