Rinse well and cut into thin rounds. Keep the peel for extra crunch, or remove it for a milder texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Transfer the slices to a colander, sprinkle with salt, and allow them to sit for about 20 minutes to draw out excess liquid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lightly rinse to remove extra salt, then gently dry with paper towels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, sugar, black pepper, and chopped dill until blended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Place cucumbers and red onion in a large bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the top and toss carefully to coat evenly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes so the flavors can fully develop before serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
