Hungarian Cucumber Salad

This salad is a common side dish in Hungary that can be served with any meal. It has a very light and refreshing taste. I always love to eat this during the hot summer months.

Ingredients

For the dressing

5 tbsp sugar
2 cups water
½ cup vinegar

For the cucumber salad

3 large cucumbers peeled and thinly sliced
1 clove of garlic, chopped
¼ cup of fresh dill
salt and pepper to taste

Directions

For the dressing, use a small bowl to dissolve the sugar in water. Add vinegar and complete the dissolving. Set aside.

In a large bowl, wash, peel, and thinly slice the cucumbers. Season generously with salt. Let stand for 15 minutes. Pour dressing over the cucumbers until just covered. Add the dill. Refrigerate for at least an hour or overnight if possible before serving.
