Steps:
- WASH the cukes and score lengthwise with a fork. If you detest cukeskin, then by all means peel them.
- SLICE the cucumbers into thin rounds, place them in a bowl, and salt generously. Let the cukes rest for a few minutes. (If you're in a hurry, you don't have to wait very long: Just be sure to use less salt.).
- SEASON the salad: When you're ready, pour off the liquid and mix in the mayo, dill, garlic, and pepper.
- ~~Notes~~.
- Let the salted cucumbers rest for at least 10 minutes to draw out bitterness - longer you have time or are multitasking. If it's going to be a while before you season the cukes, stick the bowl in the fridge.
- I use the feathery fronds from 5-6 stalks of dill and discard the stems, 'cause my family doesn't care for them. Chopped fresh parsley is nice in this salad, too.
- Timesaver: Use commercially prepared chopped garlic.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, dill, and seasoned salt. Mix in the cucumber slices, tossing to coat.
Tips:
- Choose the right cucumbers: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh, firm cucumbers that are not too seedy. English cucumbers are a good choice, as they have fewer seeds and a milder flavor.
- Slice the cucumbers thinly: This will help them absorb the marinade more easily and make them more tender.
- Use a good quality mayonnaise: A high-quality mayonnaise will make a big difference in the flavor of the salad. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with fresh eggs and oil, and avoid brands that contain a lot of additives.
- Add fresh dill: Fresh dill is the key to the flavor of this salad. If you don't have fresh dill, you can use dried dill, but it won't be as flavorful.
- Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and make the salad more refreshing.
