Marinated Cucumbers
Description
The Marinated Cucumbers recipe involves washing and cutting cucumbers into long spears, which are then tossed with salt, fresh chopped dill, and pressed garlic. Allowing them to marinate for a minimum of two hours in the refrigerator softens the cucumbers slightly while infusing them with savory, herbal, and slightly salty flavors. The salt draws out excess moisture, enhancing their crunch and flavor. Dill provides a fragrant, clean note that complements the garlic's pungency. This simple preparation yields crisp, flavor-packed cucumber spears that work well as a side dish, salad addition, or refreshing snack.
The cucumbers maintain their texture and marinated flavor for up to five days when refrigerated. Preparing the cucumbers in advance makes for convenient cooling bites during meals or as light appetizers.
Ingredients
- 2 lb cucumber
- 1 tbsp salt
- 2 tbsp dill diced
- 4 garlic pressed, cloves
Instructions
- Wash and split the cucumber into 2-4 long spears. To the cucumbers add the salt, dill and garlic. Mix all the ingredients together.
- Let the cucumbers marinate for at least 2 hours and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
