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:
- Choose the right cucumbers. For best results, use pickling or Kirby cucumbers. These cucumbers are small, firm, and have a thin skin.
- Use fresh dill. Fresh dill has a more pronounced flavor than dried dill. If you don't have fresh dill, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of dried dill for every tablespoon of fresh dill.
- Slice the cucumbers and onions thinly. This will help them to absorb the pickling liquid more easily.
- Use a clean jar. Make sure the jar is thoroughly washed and sterilized before you use it. This will help to prevent the pickles from spoiling.
- Follow the recipe carefully. The amount of time the pickles need to ferment will vary depending on the recipe. Be sure to follow the recipe's instructions carefully to ensure that the pickles are properly fermented.
Conclusion:
Dilled cucumber and onions are a delicious and refreshing snack or side dish. They are also a great way to use up extra cucumbers and onions. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make your own dilly cucumbers and onions at home. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful snack, give this recipe a try!
