The Best Cucumber Salad!!

Total Time: 2 hrs 15 mins
Preparation Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 2 hrs


Ingredients



  • Servings: 8

  • 3 large cucumbers

  • 1 medium shallot (2 thinly sliced green onions work also)

  • 1 tablespoon dried dill or 2 tablespoons fresh dill

  • 1/4 cup cider vinegar

  • 1/4 cup vinegar

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar

  • 3 tablespoons salt


Recipe



  • 1 thinly slice cucumbers. i use a mandoline for perfect thin cuts.

  • 2 place cucumber in a large bowl adding salt through out the cucumbers.

  • 3 place a plate over the cucumbers as to add weight ( i usually put my olive oil can on top of the plate for added pressure). this step is to withdraw as much extra water as possible. cover for 1 hours.

  • 4 mix vinegars, sugar and dill, taste, making adjustments for that tangy taste.

  • 5 empty excess water from cucumbers and add shallots and vinegar dressing.

  • 6 ideally let sit for another hour, but its hard to resist for that long.
