A delightful cucumber salad with a tangy and sweet dressing, perfect for any occasion.
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and peel them if desired.
Peeling the cucumbers is optional, but it can make the salad more tender.
Slice the cucumbers thinly and place them in a mixing bowl.
Use a mandoline slicer for uniform slices.
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the bowl with the cucumbers.
Soak the onion slices in cold water for a few minutes to reduce their sharpness.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the salt, black pepper, white vinegar, sugar, dill, and water to make the dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Pour the dressing over the cucumber and onion mixture, and toss gently to combine.
Ensure all the cucumber slices are evenly coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld.
The longer the salad marinates, the more flavorful it becomes.
Serve the salad chilled, using a slotted spoon to drain excess liquid.
Garnish with extra dill for a fresh presentation.
