Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill weed (or fresh dill)
  • 1-2 large seedless cucumbers (English or Persian cucumbers)
  • ½ large red onion (or sweet onion)

Method
 

  1. Mix the water, vinegar, and sugar until the sugar dissolves. Add the dill weed.
  2. Use a mandoline slicer or kitchen knife to thinly slice the cucumber and red onion to about 1/8 inch thick (about 2 millimeters). Peeling the cucumber is optional.
  3. Add the cucumbers and onions to the water/vinegar mixture. Let them marinate for at least 2 hours or up to 4 days in the refrigerator.

Notes

It's best to let the salad marinate for a few hours for the flavors to meld.
