Cucumber Salad

Wash and peel the cucumbers (if desired). Slice them thinly using a knife or a mandoline for uniform slices.

Peel and thinly slice the red onion. If you prefer a milder taste, soak the onion slices in cold water for 5 minutes, then drain.

In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, sugar, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

In a large bowl, toss the cucumber slices and onion slices together. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to coat evenly.

Stir in chopped dill, if using. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for extra flavor and texture.

Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 15–20 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve cold as a refreshing side dish.
