Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Kirby cucumbers approximately 4
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 2 medium sweet onions thinly sliced (use Vidalia if you can get them)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • Buttermilk Ranch dressing

Instructions

  • Peel cucumbers, if desired. I partially peeled and left on strips of the peel for color. Thinly slice the cukes and place in a colander in the sink or over a large bowl. Sprinkle kosher salt over cucumbers and toss well. Let them drain at room temperature for one hour.
  • Layer half of cucumbers in a large bowl. Top with half the onions, dill and sugar. Repeat with remaining cukes, onions, dill and sugar.
  • Pour Buttermilk Ranch dressing over cucumber mixture. Cover and store in refrigerator for at least two hours or until completely chilled. Toss before serving.
