Ingredients
  

  • 2 large cucumbers thinly sliced
  • 1 large onion thinly sliced
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup sugar or to taste
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • Optional: fresh dill for garnish

Equipment

  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Large bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Whisk
  • Airtight container for storage

Method
 

  1. Prepare the vegetables: Thinly slice the cucumbers and onions. Place them in a large bowl.
  2. Make the vinegar mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and pepper until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  3. Combine: Pour the vinegar mixture over the cucumbers and onions. Stir everything to ensure the vegetables are fully coated.
  4. Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to an airtight container. Let it marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best flavor).
  5. Serve: Garnish with fresh dill if desired. Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish or topping for burgers, sandwiches, or salads.

Notes

  • Adjust the sugar level based on your taste preference; more sugar will balance out the acidity of the vinegar.
  • For added flavor, you can experiment by adding herbs like dill or a touch of red pepper flakes for a slight kick.
