- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar

Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the cucumbers. Thinly slice them into rounds using a knife or mandoline slicer and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Peel and thinly slice the red onion into half-moon shapes. Add the sliced onion to the bowl with the cucumbers.

Finely chop the fresh dill and sprinkle it over the cucumbers and onions.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white vinegar, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper until the sugar dissolves and the dressing is well combined.
Step 5
Pour the dressing over the cucumber and onion mixture, then gently toss everything together to evenly coat the vegetables in the dressing.
Step 6
Let the salad sit for 10-15 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld, or refrigerate for a more chilled salad.
