Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 English cucumber
- 1 small Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 3 tablespoons White vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry the cucumbers, then slice them into thin, even rounds using a sharp knife or mandoline.
Peel and slice the red onion into very thin slices. If the flavor of raw onion is too strong for your liking, soak the slices in cold water for 5 minutes before draining and patting dry.
Finely chop the fresh dill.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the white vinegar, granulated sugar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the dressing is well combined.
In a large salad bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, red onion, and dill.
Pour the prepared dressing over the vegetables and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
Cover and let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the cucumber salad cold, and enjoy!
