Notes
➜ Use English cucumbers to avoid removing large seeds.
➜ Slice the onions very thin for better flavor.
➜ Chill the salad before serving for maximum crunch.
➜ Pat the cucumbers dry to keep dressing thick.
➜ Use fresh dill instead of dried for brightness.
➜ Taste the dressing before adding the vegetables.
➜ Add a pinch of salt just before eating.
