Directions

1. Prepare the Vegetables: Wash the cucumbers and slice them thinly. Peel the red onion and slice it thinly as well. Pat the cucumber slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

3. Combine Salad Ingredients: Add the sliced cucumbers and red onion to the bowl with the dressing. Toss gently to coat the vegetables evenly with the dressing.

4. Garnish and Serve: Garnish the salad with additional fresh dill and freshly ground black pepper, if desired. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
