Ingredients
 
 

  • 3 medium cucumbers peeled and thinly sliced into rounds (if the cucumbers aren't waxed you can leave the peels on for more color)
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh dill
  • 2 tablespoons chopped chives optional - I don't always include these
  • 1 tablespoon dried minced onion more concentrated flavor than fresh onion
  • 3 tablespoons neutral-tasting oil
  • 3 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Place the sliced cucumbers in a bowl and toss with a heaping teaspoon of salt. Let sit for about 30 minutes then drain thoroughly.
    In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients. Pour over the cucumbers and stir to combine. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours before serving, stirring it a couple of times. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve cold or at room temperature.
