Ingredients
- 2 medium cucumber
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.5 cup white vinegar
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 2 tablespoons dill (fresh)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the cucumbers. Thinly slice the cucumbers into rounds using a knife or mandoline for uniform thickness.
Step 2
Peel and thinly slice the red onion into half-moons.
Step 3
In a medium bowl or jar, combine the white vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved.
Step 4
Add the black peppercorns to the vinegar mixture for added flavor.
Step 5
Place the sliced cucumber and red onion into the bowl or jar with the vinegar mixture. Gently toss or stir to ensure all slices are coated in the liquid.
Step 6
Chop the fresh dill and sprinkle it over the salad. Mix well to evenly distribute the dill.
Step 7
Cover the bowl or jar and let the salad sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, refrigerate for 2 hours.
Step 8
Before serving, gently stir the salad to redistribute the marinade. Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish or topping.
