How to Make Simply Marinated Cucumbers

  1. Thinly slice the cucumbers. If using large cucumbers, you may want to halve them lengthwise first for easier slicing.
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine the sliced cucumbers and scallions.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, and dill until the sugar is dissolved.
  4. Pour the vinegar mixture over the cucumber and scallion mixture.
  5. Toss gently to coat the cucumbers evenly.
  6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably longer, to allow the flavors to meld. The longer they chill, the more flavorful they become!
  7. Before serving, give the cucumbers another gentle toss. Enjoy!
