Summer Cucumber and Dill Salad

Serves 4 to 6
Time 2 hr 15 min
Straight from a loving grandmother's kitchen comes this wonderful way to celebrate the end-of-summer bounty of garden cucumbers. Mixed with onion and sea salt and then chilled, the cucumbers take on a tender-crisp texture. Plan ahead to make this simple salad, as it requires several hours of refrigeration before serving.
Ingredients
  • 3 medium cucumbers, peeled and very thinly sliced
  • 1 small white onion, very thinly sliced
  • 2 teaspoons fine sea salt, plus one pinch salt
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill

Method

In a large colander, toss together cucumbers, onion and 2 teaspoons of the salt. 

Place the colander over a bowl to catch draining liquid and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours. 

Cucumbers will shrink considerably as salt releases their moisture.

Rinse cucumbers and onion under cold running water and let drain thoroughly, about 20 minutes, then transfer to a bowl. 

Add vinegar, dill and pinch of salt and toss to combine. 

Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours before serving.
