For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of sugar to the dressing to balance the acidity of the lemon juice. If you don't have fresh dill on hand, dried dill can be substituted, but use about half the amount as the flavor is more concentrated. This salad is best served immediately after chilling, as the cucumbers may release excess moisture if left to sit for too long.

May 29, 2024I didn't have fresh dill on hand, so I used dried dill. It still tasted great, but I'll definitely use fresh dill next time for a more vibrant flavor.
