Ingredients
For the Dressing:
- 1/4 cup water 60mL
- 1/2 cup vinegar 120mL
- 1/3 cup sugar 78mL
- 1 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
For the Salad
- 2 English cucumbers large
- 1 red onion small
- 1/4 cup Dill fresh
- 3 tbsp mint
Instructions
- Add water, vinegar, and sugar to a medium pot. Place on medium high heat and stir until sugar is dissolved, then remove from heat.
- Halve and thinly slice one small red onion. Place onion sliced in the vinegar solution, mix and set aside.
- Remove some skin from the cucumbers leaving dark stripes. Thinly slice the English cucumbers.
- Place cucumbers in a large bowl, sprinkle with salt and toss then cover and chill for 30-40 minutes.
- After sufficient resting time drain excess juice from cucumbers.
- Chop the fresh dill and mint. Pour dressing and onions on cucumbers. Sprinkle with dill and mint. Toss and serve.
Notes
- Sweat your cucumbers out! This will reduce the amount of water in them and yield a taster, less watered down salad that keeps longer.
- English cucumbers are a bit more delicate and have a thinner skin. If you can't find them or don't want to pay the surcharge, then use regular cucumbers and pell off all that waxy skin.
- Try serving the salad with nice croutons for added crunch, carbs and general loveliness.
- If you ever want to season some plain rice try tossing it with the dressing from this recipe, it's really delicious.
