Ingredients

  • 2 English or Hot House cucumbers peeled and thinly sliced (See Note 1)
  • 1 small red onion thinly sliced and broken into pieces (See Note 2)
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • ¾ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 3 Tablespoons sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Place sliced cucumbers and onion in a non-reactive bowl (plastic). Sprinkle dill on top.
  • Combine vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper in a small bowl; whisk until sugar dissolves thoroughly. Pour over vegetables. Toss well to combine. Cover and refrigerate at least one hour. Yield: 4 to 6 servings.

Notes

  1. I slice the cucumbers and onion in a food processor with a 3 mm slicing blade.
  2. Sometimes when I make this salad, I use a sweet yellow onion as opposed to the red onion.
