Delicious Marinated Cucumbers Recipe - Refreshing Salad

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 2 cups sliced cucumbers (preferably English or Persian cucumbers)
  • 1 cup white vinegar (can substitute with apple cider vinegar)
  • 1 cup water (for diluting the vinegar)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (adjust based on taste preference)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon dill weed (fresh or dried)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns (for added flavor)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Cucumbers

    Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and slice them into thin rounds.

    Use a mandoline slicer for uniform thickness.
  2. Mix the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine white vinegar, water, sugar, salt, dill weed, minced garlic, and black peppercorns. Stir until the sugar and salt dissolve.

    Taste the marinade and adjust sweetness or saltiness if needed.
  3. Combine Ingredients

    Add the sliced cucumbers to the marinade. Ensure they are well coated.

    Use a resealable bag for better marination.
  4. Marinate

    Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for deeper flavor.

    The longer they marinate, the better the taste.
  5. Serve

    Once marinated, serve the cucumbers chilled as a refreshing side dish or salad.

    Garnish with extra dill or sesame seeds for presentation.
