Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large cucumber
- 3 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer, thinly slice the cucumbers into very thin rounds.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, granulated sugar, water, salt, and black pepper until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Add the sliced cucumbers into the bowl with the dressing and toss gently to ensure all the slices are evenly coated.
Chop the fresh dill finely and sprinkle it over the cucumbers. Mix gently to combine.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, let it rest for 1-2 hours.
Before serving, give the salad a final toss, and adjust the seasoning with extra salt or vinegar, if necessary.
Serve chilled as a side dish or enjoy on its own.
