- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 3 tablespoons White vinegar
- 1.5 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 Red onion
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and slice them into thin rounds. If the cucumbers are particularly seedy, consider scooping out the seeds before slicing.
Step 2
Peel and thinly slice the red onion into half-moon shapes.
Step 3
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, granulated sugar, salt, black pepper, and olive oil until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Step 4
In a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, red onion, and chopped fresh dill.
Step 5
Pour the vinegar mixture over the cucumber mixture and toss gently to coat all the pieces evenly.
Step 6
Let the salad marinate in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For a stronger flavor, refrigerate for up to an hour.
Step 7
Give the salad a final toss before serving and garnish with additional fresh dill, if desired. Serve chilled.
