Refreshing Cucumber Salad Recipe
| Ingredient | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Cucumbers | 2 large or 3 medium | Select firm, seedless varieties for best results |
| Red onion | ½ medium | Slice thinly for a bold kick |
| Fresh dill | 2 tablespoons | Finely chopped for fresh, herbal flavor |
| White vinegar | 3 tablespoons | Provides bright, clean acidity |
| Olive oil | 2 tablespoons | Adds smooth, balanced richness |
| Sugar | 1 teaspoon | Gently balances the acidity |
| Salt | 1 teaspoon | Draws out excess moisture |
| Black pepper | ½ teaspoon | Freshly ground for mild heat |
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Slice the Cucumbers
Wash thoroughly and cut into thin, even slices. Leave the skin on for extra texture, or peel if you prefer a softer bite.
2. Salt and Rest
Place the cucumber slices in a colander, sprinkle evenly with salt, and let them rest for about 20 minutes to release excess water.
