This classic, creamy Cucumber Salad is an easy side dish using sliced cucumbers and onion tossed in a tangy sauce with fresh dill. Light, healthy and refreshing!
Peel the cucumber and using a sharp knife or food mandoline, slice thinly. Place the cucumber slices in a sieve and toss with the tablespoon of kosher salt. Allow to drain for 30 minutes.
Peel the red onion and using a sharp knife or food mandoline, slice thinly. Add to the cucumbers.
In a small bowl mix together the salad dressing ingredients.
In a salad bowl add the drained cucumbers, onion and dressing, tossing to coat and mix thoroughly. Season to taste (See Note 2). Cover and chill for an hour before serving.
Notes
If you do not have apple cider vinegar, you can substitute red wine vinegar or if using rice wine vinegar omit the sugar.
To add a bit of a kick, I sometimes add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
