Notes
- Cucumbers: If available use small Persian cucumbers; 3-4 depending on their size.
- Dill: Fresh is best, but frozen is OK as well. Don't use dried dill; it is pretty bland, and the salad relies on the dill flavor.
- Substitute red wine vinegar with white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
- Oil: Use canola oil or a mild tasting sunflower oil.
