Cucumbers and Dill Make a Refreshing German Salad

Gather the ingredients. The Spruce / Diana Chistruga Rinse and dry the cucumber. With unwaxed, seedless cucumbers, you can leave part or all of the skin on in strips, which looks attractive when you cut it and actually helps hold the slices together. Other varieties should be peeled and seeded first. The Spruce / Diana Chistruga Using a mandoline, a food processor with the thin slicer attachment, or the slicer opening on a cheese grater, thinly slice the cucumber(s). They should be almost see-through. Set aside. The Spruce / Diana Chistruga Make the dressing by placing the vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper in a serving bowl and whisk until the sugar completely dissolves. The Spruce / Diana Chistruga Add the sliced cucumber, red onion rings, and chopped dill (if using) and toss well. Marinate for 5 or more minutes, toss again, and serve. The Spruce / Diana Chistruga
