¾ cup apple cider vinegar 3 Tablespoons sugar ¾ teaspoon Kosher salt ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 English or hothouse 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
For the dressing, combine vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl; whisk until the sugar dissolves thoroughly. Set aside.
Place sliced cucumbers and onion in a non-reactive bowl (plastic or glass). Sprinkle dill on top.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables. Toss well to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Yield: 6 servings.
I slice the cucumbers and onion in a food processor with a 3 mm slicing blade.
Sometimes, when I make this salad, I use a sweet yellow onion as opposed to the red onion. Both work well.
