Cucumber Salad
Report
This classic cucumber salad is a blend of thinly sliced cucumbers, red onion and fresh dill, all tossed together in a sweet and tangy dressing. An easy and refreshing salad that takes just minutes to put together.

Ingredients
- 1 pound English cucumbers very thinly sliced
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/3 cup red onion very thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup fresh dill chopped
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Toss the cucumber slices with the salt and sugar in a medium sized bowl. Let the cucumbers sit for 5-7 minutes.
- Add the red onion and dill to the bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, pepper and olive oil.
- Pour the dressing over the cucumber mixture and toss to coat evenly.
- Let the salad sit for 10 minutes, then serve.
Notes
- I like to use English cucumbers for this salad, which are the long cucumbers wrapped in plastic.
- The salt helps to draw any excess moisture out of the cucumbers which will prevent your salad from getting watery.
- Use a sharp knife or a mandoline to get super thin slices of cucumber and red onion.
