Equipment
- large container or bowl
Ingredients
- 4 cucumbers
- 1 small onion
- 3 cloves of garlic peeled and crushed
- 2 tbsp fresh dill
- 6 cups water
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 cups white vinegar
Instructions
- Peel and slice your cucumbers so that they are about 1/4" thick and place them in the container.
- Cut the onion in half and thinly slice it. Add the slices to the container with the cucumbers.
- Peel and crush 3 garlic cloves and add to the container.
- Rinse and roughly chop the dill and add to the container.
- In another bowl or a large liquid measuring cup add 2 cups of white vinegar. Add 1/3 cup sugar directly to the vinegar and stir to dissolve. Dilute the mixture with 6 cups of water and pour over the vegetables in the container.

Notes
Be careful of the container that you choose to store your cucumber salad. A plastic container will absorb the smell of vinegar and onions, but glass will not.
