Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large cucumber
- 120 ml white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 60 ml water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
Instructions
Wash and dry the cucumber. Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice the cucumber into very thin, even slices.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the white vinegar, granulated sugar, water, and salt. Whisk the mixture until the sugar and salt have fully dissolved.
Add the cucumber slices to the bowl with the vinegar mixture. Stir gently to ensure all the slices are coated with the liquid.
Finely chop the fresh dill and add it to the cucumber mixture. Stir to combine evenly.
Let the salad sit for at least 10-15 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour for enhanced flavor.
Season with a pinch of black pepper before serving. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with a bit of extra dill, if desired.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish or condiment. Enjoy!
