Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized cucumber
- 3 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1.5 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and pat them dry. Slice the cucumbers into very thin rounds using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer for uniform slices.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the white vinegar, sugar, water, and salt. Whisk until the sugar and salt are fully dissolved.
Finely chop the fresh dill and add it to the vinegar mixture along with the black pepper. Stir to combine.
Place the cucumber slices in a large mixing bowl. Pour the vinegar and herb mixture over the cucumbers, ensuring all slices are evenly coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the salad a quick toss and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish. Enjoy!
