📝 Instructions

7 steps
1

Wash and dry the cucumbers. Thinly slice them into rounds using a knife or mandoline slicer and place them in a large mixing bowl.

2

Peel and thinly slice the red onion into half-moon shapes. Add the sliced onion to the bowl with the cucumbers.

3

Finely chop the fresh dill and sprinkle it over the cucumbers and onions.

4

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white vinegar, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper until the sugar dissolves and the dressing is well combined.

5

Pour the dressing over the cucumber and onion mixture, then gently toss everything together to evenly coat the vegetables in the dressing.

6

Let the salad sit for 10-15 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld, or refrigerate for a more chilled salad.

7

Serve as a refreshing side dish and enjoy!
