Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium cucumber
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.5 cup white vinegar
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 2 tablespoons dill (fresh)
Instructions
Wash and dry the cucumbers. Thinly slice the cucumbers into rounds using a knife or mandoline for uniform thickness.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion into half-moons.
In a medium bowl or jar, combine the white vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved.
Add the black peppercorns to the vinegar mixture for added flavor.
Place the sliced cucumber and red onion into the bowl or jar with the vinegar mixture. Gently toss or stir to ensure all slices are coated in the liquid.
Chop the fresh dill and sprinkle it over the salad. Mix well to evenly distribute the dill.
Cover the bowl or jar and let the salad sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, refrigerate for 2 hours.
Before serving, gently stir the salad to redistribute the marinade. Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish or topping.
