4 servings
- 2 large english cucumbers (about 2 lb total), thinly sliced
- 1 tsp kosher salt

- 3 tbsp fresh dill, roughly chopped
For the dressing
- 3 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- 1
Place the sliced cucumbers in a large bowl and toss with the kosher salt. Let stand for 10 minutes, then transfer to a clean kitchen towel or several layers of paper towels and pat firmly dry — the cucumbers should feel noticeably less wet.

In a small bowl, whisk together the white wine vinegar, sugar, olive oil, and black pepper until the sugar is fully dissolved.
