This Quick Pickled Cucumber Salad is a refreshing and tangy side dish that's perfect for a summer meal or as a quick and easy appetizer. The sweet and tangy pickling liquid enhances the crispness of the cucumbers, and the addition of dill and red onion adds delightful flavors.
Ingredients: 2 cucumbers, thinly sliced. 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced. 1/4 cup rice vinegar. 1/4 cup water. 2 tablespoons sugar. 1 teaspoon salt. 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional. 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped. 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Instructions: In a small saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and red pepper flakes if using. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature. Place the sliced cucumbers and red onion in a bowl. Pour the cooled vinegar mixture over them. Toss the cucumbers and onions to coat them evenly with the pickling liquid. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes, tossing occasionally. Before serving, drizzle the salad with olive oil, sprinkle with black pepper, and garnish with fresh dill. Serve chilled and enjoy!
