Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Cucumber
- 0.5 cup White vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 small Red onion
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and pat them dry. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, thinly slice the cucumbers into even rounds, about 1/8 inch thick.
Peel and thinly slice half of a small red onion into very fine strips. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine white vinegar, granulated sugar, water, salt, and ground black pepper. Whisk the mixture until the sugar and salt are fully dissolved.
Add the sliced cucumbers and red onion to the bowl. Toss gently to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated with the vinegar mixture.
Finely chop the fresh dill and sprinkle it over the salad. Stir gently to distribute the dill evenly.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. For best results, refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
Before serving, give the salad a quick stir and taste. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve cold as a refreshing side dish, garnished with extra dill if desired. Enjoy!
