Cucumber Onion Dill Salad

Apparently I am on a salad kick. I blame the heat. Who wants to eat hearty, heavy food when it's hot? Leave those until the sun goes down! In the mean time, here is a simple salad to get you through your day.

• 2 cucumbers sliced into thin circles- I've always partially peeled these- meaning I partially remove the peel in lengthwise strips using a vegetable peeler leaving a little skin between each strip. I have no idea why I do this other than it's what my mom did. If anyone knows the reason behind this, I'd love to hear it!
• 1 red onion cut in half and then into thin slices. Separate the layers of the strips so you are left with thin half moon shapes
• 6 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 tablespoon dried dill or 1/4 cup fresh chopped dill
• salt and pepper to taste
  

1. Add the vinegar, sugar, dill, salt, and pepper in a bowl (with a lid) and mix until the sugar is dissolved.
2. Mix in cucumber and onions.
3. Put the lid on the bowl and shake, shake, shake! You can eat this right away, but I find it's better if you let it sit for a couple hours before eating.
