Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 English cucumbers
- 3 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Slice the cucumbers thinly into rounds using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer for even slices. Place the sliced cucumbers into a large mixing bowl.
Finely chop the fresh dill and add it to the bowl of cucumbers.
In a small bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, olive oil, granulated sugar, kosher salt, black pepper, and minced garlic until the sugar is dissolved and the dressing is well combined.
Pour the dressing over the cucumbers and dill. Gently toss everything together using tongs or a large spoon to ensure the cucumbers are evenly coated.
Let the cucumbers sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Optionally, you can refrigerate the cucumbers for a chilled version of this dish.
Transfer the cucumbers to a serving dish and garnish with extra dill if desired. Serve immediately or keep chilled until ready to serve.
