Ingredients
- 3 medium cucumbers
- 1 large onion
- 0.5 cup white vinegar
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill (optional)
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and slice them into thin rounds (approximately 1/8 inch thick).
Peel the onion and slice it into thin rings or half-moons, depending on preference.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cucumbers and onions. Toss gently to mix evenly.
In a separate small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the white vinegar, water, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper until the sugar is dissolved.
Pour the vinegar dressing over the cucumbers and onions. If using fresh dill, sprinkle it on top.
Gently toss the mixture to ensure the vegetables are fully coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to an airtight container.
Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Stir occasionally while marinating if possible.
Serve chilled as a side dish or snack. Enjoy!
