Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 cucumbers, sliced into ¼-inch slices
  • 1 red onion, sliced into half moons

Dressing

  • ⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Slice cucumbers: Slice each cucumber into ¼-inch thick rounds and place them in a large mixing bowl for easy mixing with other ingredients.
  2. Add sliced onion: Slice the red onion into thin half moons and combine them with the cucumbers, tossing gently to mix.
  3. Prepare dressing: In a mason jar or small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and pepper until the sugar is dissolved and the dressing is well combined.
  4. Toss salad: Pour the dressing over the cucumber and onion mixture; toss thoroughly to ensure every piece is coated with the tangy dressing.
  5. Chill and serve: Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld together before serving chilled for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, add sliced radishes or bell peppers.
  • This salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Adjust sugar quantity to taste for a sweeter or more tangy dressing.
  • Use white vinegar as an alternative if apple cider vinegar is unavailable.
