Tips

  • Choose the right cucumbers. English or Persian cucumbers are best for this salad because they have thin skins and few seeds. If you use a different type of cucumber, you may need to peel and seed it first.
  • Slice the cucumbers thinly. This will help them absorb the dressing and make them more tender.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the red onion. This will help prevent the onion from tearing and becoming bitter.
  • Soak the red onion in cold water for 10 minutes before adding it to the salad. This will help remove some of the sharpness.
  • Use fresh dill. Dried dill will not have the same flavor.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Store the salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion

Cucumber red onion salad with dill is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its crunchy cucumbers, tangy red onion, and fresh dill, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
