Cucumber Salad
This vinegar-based cucumber salad is crunchy, tangy and cool, similar to quick-pickled vegetables. It's an ideal summer side dish for cookouts and can be made in advance, holding well in refrigeration throughout the week.
Ingredients
Scale:
Units:
- 2 English cucumbers (800-900g)
- 1/2 white onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 3 tbsp fresh dill (chopped) or 1 tsp dried dill
- 120ml white vinegar
- 1 tbsp water
- 30g granulated sugar
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- Fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
Slice cucumbers as thin as possible using a mandoline if desired. Thinly slice onions and chop dill.
Mix white vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Pour mixture over cucumbers, onions, and dill, stirring to ensure even coverage. Refrigerate 1 hour for best results (vegetables become softer).
Stir again to evenly distribute dressing. Serve with a slotted spoon. Store refrigerated up to 7 days.
