Instructions

1
Slice the cucumbers thin using a sharp knife or mandoline. Place them in a large bowl. Add the red onion slices, if using.
2
Whisk together vinegar, water, sugar, salt, black pepper, and dill until the sugar dissolves.
3
Pour the dressing over the cucumbers. Toss to coat everything evenly.
4
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or toss in the smashed garlic clove.
5
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. They’ll be ready then, but they taste even better after a few hours in the fridge.
6
Serve chilled. You can serve them straight in the marinade or drain a bit off if you want them less tangy.
