Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Cucumber
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 3 tablespoons White vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and pat them dry. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline, slice the cucumbers into thin rounds (about 1/8-inch thick).
Finely chop the fresh dill and set it aside.
Peel and slice the red onion into very thin half-moons.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, olive oil, sugar, salt, and black pepper until the sugar is dissolved and the dressing is well combined.
Add the sliced cucumbers, red onion, and chopped dill to the bowl with the dressing. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For the best taste, refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Before serving, give the salad a final toss to redistribute the dressing. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish.
