👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Wash cucumbers thoroughly and slice them very thinly, preferably using a mandoline, then place in a bowl and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt. Let stand for 10-15 minutes to draw out excess water.
2. While the cucumbers are resting, prepare the dressing by whisking together white vinegar, water, granulated sugar, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt in a small bowl until the sugar and salt are dissolved.
3. Gently squeeze the sliced cucumbers to remove as much liquid as possible, then discard the drained liquid. Transfer the squeezed cucumbers to a clean bowl.
4. Pour the prepared dressing over the squeezed cucumbers and add the chopped fresh dill. Toss gently to combine all ingredients.
5. For best flavor, chill the Gurkensalat in the refrigerator for at least 15-30 minutes before serving. Serve as a refreshing side dish.
