Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Cucumber
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 3 tablespoons White vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and optionally peel them if you prefer a softer texture.
Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice the cucumbers as thinly as possible and transfer them to a large bowl.
Finely chop the fresh dill and sprinkle it over the cucumber slices.
In a small bowl, combine the white vinegar, water, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir until the sugar and salt dissolve completely.
Pour the vinegar mixture over the cucumbers and dill. Toss gently to coat all the cucumber slices evenly.
Sprinkle the black pepper over the cucumbers, and mix again lightly to distribute the seasoning.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, marinate for 1-2 hours.
Stir the cucumbers before serving, and transfer to a serving dish. Enjoy as a refreshing side dish!
