Ingredients:

2 large English cucumbers

1 tsp. granulated sugar

1 tbsp. white vinegar

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

½ tsp. salt

1 tbsp. fresh dill, minced

Instructions:

1. Carefully peel the English cucumbers and cut them into ¼” thick slices using a knife or a mandolin.
2. In a small bowl, add granulated sugar, white vinegar, salt, black pepper, and dill, and combine until the mixture forms a consistent dressing.
