Ingredients

• 2 large Cucumber
• 0.5 cup White vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 small Red onion

Directions

Step 1

Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and pat them dry. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, thinly slice the cucumbers into even rounds, about 1/8 inch thick.

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice half of a small red onion into very fine strips. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine white vinegar, granulated sugar, water, salt, and ground black pepper. Whisk the mixture until the sugar and salt are fully dissolved.

Step 4

Add the sliced cucumbers and red onion to the bowl. Toss gently to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated with the vinegar mixture.

Step 5

Finely chop the fresh dill and sprinkle it over the salad. Stir gently to distribute the dill evenly.

Step 6

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. For best results, refrigerate for 1-2 hours.

Step 7

Before serving, give the salad a quick stir and taste. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 8

Serve cold as a refreshing side dish, garnished with extra dill if desired. Enjoy!
