Cucumber salad

Delight in a refreshing cucumber salad bursting with fresh flavors and crisp textures. Perfect for a light, healthy, and flavorful meal!

Ingredients:

• 1 English Cucumber
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1/4 cup white vinegar (do NOT use cider vinegar)
• 1/8 cup chopped fresh dill
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 1 clove garlic, chopped (about 1 tsp.)

Instructions:

1. Cut the cucumber into thin slices. Place the slices in a colander and sprinkle salt over them, ensuring each slice gets some salt. Allow them to sit for 15 minutes to let the salt extract moisture from the cucumbers.
2. Mix vinegar, dill, sugar, black pepper, and lemon juice in a 1-quart bowl. Set the mixture aside.
3. Remove any excess moisture from the cucumber slices that absorbed the salt. Do not wash them. Combine the slices with the vinegar mixture. Add onions and garlic on top; gently mix everything to coat evenly.
4. You have completed the dish! Cover it and refrigerate until you are ready to serve, for up to 2 days.
