The Best Cucumber Salad!!

Time: 2 hrs 15 mins

Ingredients

• 3 large cucumbers
• 1 medium shallot (2 thinly sliced green onions work also)
• 1 tablespoon dried dill or 2 tablespoons fresh dill
• 1/4 cup cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup white vinegar
• 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
• 3 tablespoons salt

Directions

• 1 Thinly slice cucumbers. I use a mandoline for perfect thin cuts.
• 2 Place cucumber in a large bowl adding salt through out the cucumbers.
• 3 Place a plate over the cucumbers as to add weight ( i usually put my olive oil can on top of the plate for added pressure). This step is to withdraw as much extra water as possible. Cover for 1 hours.
• 4 Mix vinegars, sugar and dill, taste, making adjustments for that tangy taste.
• 5 Empty excess water from cucumbers and add shallots and vinegar dressing.
• 6 Ideally let sit for another hour, but its hard to resist for that long.
