Ingredients
- 2 medium cucumber
- 3 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 0.5 small red onion

Step 1
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and pat them dry. Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice the cucumbers into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick.
Step 2
Peel and thinly slice half of a small red onion into very fine strips.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, olive oil, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper until the sugar and salt dissolve.
Step 4
Add the sliced cucumbers, red onion, and chopped fresh dill to the bowl. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Step 5
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if desired.
Step 6
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled.
