Tips for Making Karl's Favorite Cucumbers:

  • Using fresh, firm cucumbers is key to this recipe. Look for cucumbers that are deep green in color and have no blemishes.
  • Slicing the cucumbers thinly will help them absorb the marinade more evenly.
  • Make sure to use a good quality olive oil for the marinade. This will help give the cucumbers a rich flavor.
  • If you don't have any fresh dill on hand, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried dill weed instead.
  • Let the cucumbers marinate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • For a spicier version of this recipe, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
  • These cucumbers are a great addition to any summer gathering. They're also perfect for packing in a lunch or snack.
