CUCUMBER & RED ONION SALAD WITH DILL
I used one red onion because my husband loves raw onions. If you are not a fan of that many raw onions, simply add a ½ or even ¼ of the onion. This is an updated version of what I grew up eating. My mom use to make cucumbers with sour cream.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, crisp cucumbers. English or Persian cucumbers are ideal, as they have fewer seeds and a milder flavor.
- Slice the cucumbers thinly so that they absorb the dressing more easily.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the red onion so that it doesn't bruise. If you don't have a sharp knife, you can use a mandoline slicer.
- Chop the dill finely so that it evenly distributes throughout the salad.
- Use a light hand when adding the salt and pepper. You can always add more to taste, but it's difficult to remove them once they've been added.
- Let the salad sit for at least 15 minutes before serving so that the flavors have time to meld.
- Serve the salad chilled for a refreshing side dish or appetizer.
