Cucumber Salad

YOU WILL NEED :


  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • 4 cold cucumbers
  • 1 small cold white onion
  • Fresh dill (optional)

HERE’S HOW YOU DO IT :


  1. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the vinegar, sugar, and water. Stir and heat until the sugar has completely dissolved. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool.
  2. Thinly slice the cucumbers and onion, then place them in a large bowl.
  3. Pour the cooled sugar mixture over the vegetables. Add fresh dill, if using.
  4. Place the salad in the refrigerator uncovered for 1 hour, or until it reaches 41°F. Then cover and refrigerate overnight before serving.
  5. The longer it sits, the better it tastes. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
