Cucumber Salad Recipe Tips
- Slice Thin: Use a sharp knife or mandoline to slice the cucumbers thinly. This helps them absorb the flavors better.
- Pickled Onions: If you don’t have pickled red onions, you can pickle them yourself.
- Fresh Dill: Fresh dill is best for this recipe. Dried dill can be used in a pinch, but the flavor will be less vibrant.
- Mix Well: Combine the ingredients thoroughly to ensure the cucumbers are evenly coated with the dressing. Shake or stir often while the salad chills.
- Chill Before Serving: Let the salad sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.
