Creamy Cucumber Salad with Dill and Red Onion: The Cool, Crisp Classic

How to Make Creamy Cucumber Salad with Dill and Red Onion

1. PREP THE CUCUMBERS

Slice cucumbers thinly using a mandoline or sharp knife. If using garden cucumbers, you may want to peel and deseed them first to reduce bitterness.

Pro Tip: Sprinkle cucumbers with a pinch of salt and let them sit in a colander for 10–15 minutes. This draws out excess water and keeps your salad from getting watery.

2. SLICE THE ONION

Cut the red onion into very thin slices. For a milder taste, soak the slices in cold water for 10 minutes, then drain before adding.

3. MIX THE CREAMY DRESSING
