Step-by-Step Instructions<\/p>\n
1. Slice the Cucumbers
\nRinse well and cut into thin rounds. Keep the peel for extra crunch, or remove it for a milder texture.<\/p>\n
2. Salt and Rest
\nTransfer the slices to a colander, sprinkle with salt, and allow them to sit for about 20 minutes to draw out excess liquid.<\/p>\n
3. Rinse and Pat Dry
\nLightly rinse to remove extra salt, then gently dry with paper towels.<\/p>\n
4. Prepare the Dressing
\nIn a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, sugar, black pepper, and chopped dill until blended.<\/p>\n
5. Toss Together
\nPlace cucumbers and red onion in a large bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the top and toss carefully to coat evenly.<\/p>\n
6. Chill Before Serving
\nCover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes so the flavors can fully develop before serving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
