This refreshing cucumber salad is perfect for a light and healthy side dish, combining crisp cucumbers with a tangy dill dressing.
Slice the cucumbers thinly and place them in a colander.
Using a mandoline slicer can help achieve even slices quickly.
Sprinkle the cucumbers with salt and let them sit for 30 minutes to release excess water.
Placing a weighted plate on top of the cucumbers can help press out more water.
Rinse the cucumbers under cold water to remove excess salt and pat them dry.
Ensure the cucumbers are well-dried to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
In a mixing bowl, combine vinegar, sugar, and dill to create the dressing.
Mix until the sugar is completely dissolved for a smooth dressing.
Add the cucumbers and red onion to the bowl with the dressing and toss to coat evenly.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the cucumber slices.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Serve the salad cold and enjoy as a refreshing side dish.
Garnish with extra fresh dill for a vibrant presentation.
