Perfect for summer! Light and refreshing, this salad is portioned to take to a BBQ or summer pool party. The recipe can be halved if needed. I look forward to making this every summer.

How To Make tom's cucumber salad

Step 1

On the stovetop, gently heat vinegar, water, sugar, and dill. Stir till sugar is fully incorporated and the mixture isn't cloudy anymore. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 2

Slice cucumbers and onions thinly (ideally with a mandolin) and gently toss to combine ingredients.
Step 3

Pour liquid over cucumber mixture and gently toss again.
Step 4

Cover and refrigerate for a few hours if you can stand it. Will keep for about a week in the fridge, but mine never lasts that long. Enjoy!
