How to Make A Very Easy Cucumber And Fresh Dill Salad

  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/4 cup white wine vinegar and 2 tablespoons sugar. Heat gently, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
  2. Remove from heat and let the vinegar mixture cool completely.
  3. Finely chop 1/2 cup fresh dill.
  4. Thinly slice 1 large cucumber (about 2 cups sliced) and arrange in overlapping layers on a shallow, non-reactive platter with sloped edges.
  5. Sprinkle the cucumber slices generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  6. Garnish with the chopped fresh dill.
  7. Pour the cooled vinegar mixture evenly over the cucumbers.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
