Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized cucumbers
- 4 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (chopped, optional) fresh dill
Instructions
Wash and peel the cucumbers, leaving a few thin strips of skin if desired for added texture and visual appeal.
Slice the cucumbers thinly using a sharp knife or mandoline, and place the slices in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, water, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper until the sugar and salt are fully dissolved.
Pour the vinegar dressing over the cucumber slices and toss gently to ensure all slices are evenly coated.
If using fresh dill, sprinkle it over the cucumbers and lightly toss again.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For a deeper flavor, let the cucumbers marinate for up to 1 hour.
Serve chilled, and enjoy this simple yet flavorful side dish!
