Wash and dry the cucumbers. Cut them in half lengthwise and then slice them into thin half-moons. Place them into a large mixing bowl.
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the cucumbers.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in halves and add them to the mixing bowl with cucumbers and onions.
Finely chop the fresh dill and sprinkle it over the salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together the white wine vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, black pepper, and sugar until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together gently to ensure even coating.
Allow the salad to sit for at least 10 minutes for the flavors to meld. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for a cooler, more refreshing taste.
