Ingredients

Instructions

  • Thinly slice the cucumber and onion and place them in a bowl.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, sugar, and salt. Pour the dressing over the cucumbers and onion.
  • Add the dill and gently toss to coat.

Notes

  • Slice Thin: Thinly sliced cucumbers and onions soften evenly and absorb the dressing better.
  • Salt First if Needed: If your cucumbers are very watery, sprinkle them lightly with salt and let them sit for 10 minutes, then drain before adding the dressing.
  • Chill Briefly: Refrigerate the salad for 15 to 20 minutes before serving to let the flavors come together.
  • Adjust to Taste: Taste and adjust the vinegar, sugar, or salt before serving.
  • Use Fresh Dill: Fresh dill provides the best flavor. Dried dill can be used, but reduce the amount.
