Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium cucumbers
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 3 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons dill (fresh, chopped)
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Slice the cucumbers thinly, either using a knife or a mandoline for even slices, and place them in a large bowl.
Thinly slice the red onion into half-moons and add them to the bowl with the cucumbers.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, granulated sugar, salt, black pepper, and water until the sugar dissolves completely.
Pour the vinegar mixture over the cucumbers and onions in the bowl.
Add the fresh chopped dill to the salad and toss everything gently to combine.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, marinate for 2-3 hours.
Before serving, give the salad one final toss to redistribute the marinade. Serve chilled.
