How to Make Agurlce Salat Or Medieval Cucumber Salad

  1. Thinly slice 2 pounds of cucumbers. Arrange in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
  2. Generously sprinkle 2 tablespoons of kosher salt over the cucumber slices.
  3. Place another baking sheet on top of the cucumbers to weigh them down. Add a heavy bowl or other weight on top for extra pressure.
  4. Press for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, in the refrigerator to draw out excess moisture.
  5. After pressing, drain the liquid completely from the cucumbers.
  6. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup white wine vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Add the drained cucumbers to the marinade, gently tossing to coat evenly.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!
