Cucumber and dill salad is a traditional preparation that has been appreciated in various cultures, especially in Northern and Eastern European countries. Its origin dates back to the home kitchens of countries like Germany, Poland, and Russia, where cucumber is a staple ingredient in the daily diet due to its freshness and refreshing properties. In Latin America, although not as common in all regions, this salad can be found with variations, and in some places, it is simply known as "cucumber salad" or "pickled cucumbers." In Mexico and Argentina, for example, similar variations are enjoyed during the summer as a light and healthy side dish. Dill, an aromatic herb that provides a distinctive flavor, is a classic element in this recipe, also used in other cucumber preparations, such as pickles or sauces.

How to Make Cucumber and Dill Salad
To begin, wash the cucumber and partially remove the skin in longitudinal strips using a vegetable peeler or fork, leaving a bit of skin between each strip.
Cut the cucumber into thin slices lengthwise.
In a bowl, place the apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper, and whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Add the cucumber, chopped red onion, and fresh dill, mix well so all the ingredients are incorporated.
The salad can be served immediately, but its flavor will improve if you let the ingredients marinate for 5 minutes before enjoying it.
