How To Make cucumber salad
-
1Wash and dry the cucumber, then score it lengthwise with a fork; now slice it ultra thin. Place the thinly sliced cucumbers in a bowl with the salt and leave it for 1 hour.
-
2Bring vinegar and water to boil in a small pot, then add the sugar, garlic and dill seed, stirring until all the sugar is dissolved. Set aside to cool until required.
-
3Next, rinse the cucumber in cold water and drain well; make sure to squeeze out all the excess water. (This is easiest done in a colander).
-
4In a bowl combine the cucumbers with the dressing and let sit, in the fridge for at least 1 - 6 hours before serving. When ready to serve, garnish with a dash of fresh ground pepper and the chopped dill fronds.
