1
Slice the Cucumbers
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and slice them thinly. You can cut them into rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.
2
Prepare the Onion
Peel the red onion and slice it thinly. You can soak the onion slices in cold water for a few minutes to reduce their sharpness if desired.
3
Chop the Dill
Rinse the fresh dill under cold water, then chop it finely.

4
Combine Ingredients
In a saucepan, combine the white vinegar, sugar, water, and black peppercorns. Stir the mixture well until the sugar is dissolved.
5
Heat the Mixture
Heat the saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

6
Mix All Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, red onion, chopped dill, and salt. Pour the pickling mixture over the vegetables and toss gently to combine.
7
Marinate
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to a jar with a lid. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for best flavor.

8
Serve the Salad
After marinating, give the salad a good toss and serve chilled. Enjoy your pickled cucumber salad!
