Ingredients
- 3 cucumbers, sliced
- 1 sweet onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup vinegar (white or apple cider)
- 1 cup water
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon celery seeds
- ½ teaspoon salt
- freshly ground pepper to taste
- fresh dill, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Place cucumber and onion slices in a bowl and sprinkle a little salt over them.
- Combine the remaining ingredients in a saucepan and cook until just hot, not boiling. Allow to cool completely.
- Pour over the cucumbers and onions. Cover and refrigerate.
Notes
- We recommend thinner-skinned cucumbers such as Kirby, English, or pickling. If you use American cucumbers, you should peel them.
- If you like a little heat, swap out the sweet onions for white or red onions.
- Store the cucumber salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
