Part 3/6:
Start by prepping your cucumbers and onions. Slice the onions thinly, focusing on a consistent size for even flavor distribution. When dealing with cucumbers, make sure to remove the seeds as they can release excess water, which could affect your salad’s texture.
Cucumber Prep
Cut the cucumbers in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds using a spoon. This will ensure your salad doesn't turn out too watery.
Next, slice the cucumbers into your desired thickness—keeping some variation to add texture is key here.
Onion & Dill
- For the onions, again, slice them thinly, aiming for about half a cup, although the recipe suggests a cup.
