Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the cucumbers thoroughly under cold running water.
- Peel the cucumbers, if desired, or leave the skin on for extra crunch.
- Slice the cucumbers into thin, uniform rounds and place them in a large bowl.
- Peel the onions and slice them thinly into rings.
- Add the sliced onions to the bowl with the cucumbers.
- In a separate small bowl or measuring cup, combine the vinegar and sugar.
- Stir the mixture until the sugar is completely dissolved. This may take a couple of minutes.
4. Combine Ingredients:
- Pour the sweet and sour dressing over the cucumbers and onions.
- Toss the salad gently to ensure that all the cucumber and onion slices are evenly coated with the dressing.
5. Marinate:
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour. This allows the cucumbers and onions to absorb the flavors of the dressing.
- For best results, marinate the salad for 2-3 hours or even overnight.
- Before serving, give the salad a final toss to redistribute the dressing.
- Serve the crisp Dutch cucumber salad chilled as a refreshing side dish.
Tips:
- Use fresh, firm cucumbers for the best texture.
- Slice the cucumbers and onions as thin as possible to ensure they absorb the vinegar and sugar mixture well.
- Let the salad marinate in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving to enhance the flavors.
- You can adjust the sugar to vinegar ratio based on your personal preference for sweetness or sourness.
- For added flavor, consider garnishing with fresh dill or a sprinkle of black pepper.
