This salad features English cucumbers sliced paper-thin and marinated in a simple vinaigrette made with vinegar, sugar, salt, and fresh dill. The result is a crisp, tangy, and slightly sweet salad that’s both cooling and flavorful.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 large English cucumbers (or 4 Persian cucumbers), thinly sliced

  • ½ small red onion, very thinly sliced

  • ¼ cup white wine vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon sugar

  • 1½ teaspoons kosher salt

  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill (or to taste)

Instructions

Step 1: Slice the cucumbers and onions

Use a mandoline or sharp knife to slice the cucumbers and red onion as thinly as possible. This helps them absorb the dressing quickly and evenly.

Step 2: Make the dressing

In a medium bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper until the sugar dissolves completely.

Step 3: Combine and toss

Add the sliced cucumbers and red onion to the bowl. Toss well to coat the vegetables evenly in the dressing.

Step 4: Add dill and chill

Fold in the chopped fresh dill. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Toss again before serving.
