Step 1

Wash and scrub the cucumber well, then slice thinly, ideally using a mandolin. Put the cucumber slices in a medium bowl and add 3 ounces vinegar, and the water, salt, and sugar, stirring as you go. Let it sit for 4-5 minutes, then drain off 2 ounces of the liquid—cucumbers release a lot of moisture. Add one additional ounce of vinegar, to taste, and stir again. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Step 2

Sprinkle the dill over the salad and pack it down so all the dill is covered by liquid and let it sit until you’re ready to serve.

Step 3

Stir, then serve.
