Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 large cucumbers, cut into spears
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, minced
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Start by washing and cutting the cucumbers into spears. Crush the garlic cloves and mince the fresh dill to get them ready for marinating.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl or a resealable ziplock bag, add the cucumber spears, salt, pepper, crushed garlic, and minced dill. Toss or shake well to evenly coat the cucumbers with the seasonings and herbs.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with a lid or seal the bag and place it in the refrigerator. Let the cucumbers marinate for at least 15 to 30 minutes, although leaving them for a few hours will soften the cucumbers and intensify the flavors.
- Serve: Once chilled and marinated, serve the garlic dill cucumbers cold as a refreshing side dish or snack.
Notes
- For crispier cucumbers, reduce the marinating time to 15 minutes.
- Adjust the amount of garlic and dill according to your taste preferences.
- If you prefer a tangy twist, you can add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice during the mixing step.
- This dish is best served chilled and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
