How to Make Tangy Cucumber Salad

  1. Thinly slice 3 large cucumbers and place them in a colander. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and gently toss to coat.
  2. Let the cucumbers sit in the colander for 30 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
  3. Rinse the cucumbers thoroughly under cold water and drain well. Gently pat dry with paper towels.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the drained cucumbers with 2 cups of chopped tomatoes and 1/2 cup of thinly sliced red onion.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon of dried dill, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
  6. Pour the dressing over the cucumber mixture and gently toss to combine.
  7. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably longer, to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. Serve chilled. Garnish with fresh dill, if desired.
