Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 English cucumber
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 3 tablespoons White vinegar
- 1.5 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 Red onion
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and slice them into thin rounds. If the cucumbers are particularly seedy, consider scooping out the seeds before slicing.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion into half-moon shapes.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, granulated sugar, salt, black pepper, and olive oil until the sugar is completely dissolved.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, red onion, and chopped fresh dill.
Pour the vinegar mixture over the cucumber mixture and toss gently to coat all the pieces evenly.
Let the salad marinate in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For a stronger flavor, refrigerate for up to an hour.
Give the salad a final toss before serving and garnish with additional fresh dill, if desired. Serve chilled.
