This Hungarian Dill Cucumber Salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish, perfect for any meal.
Slice the cucumbers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds using a spoon.
Removing the seeds prevents the salad from becoming watery.
Cut the cucumber halves into thin slices and place them in a colander.
Uniform slices ensure even seasoning.
Sprinkle the cucumber slices with salt and let them sit for 30 minutes to draw out excess water.
This step enhances the crunchiness of the cucumbers.
Rinse the cucumbers under cold water to remove excess salt and pat them dry with paper towels.
Dry cucumbers absorb the dressing better.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder.
Whisking ensures the ingredients are well combined.
Add the cucumber slices to the bowl and toss them with the dressing.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the cucumber slices.
Mix in the thinly sliced red onion and fresh dill.
Adding fresh dill enhances the aroma and flavor.
Sprinkle the salad with sweet paprika and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together.
Serve the salad chilled as a refreshing side dish.
Garnish with extra dill for a beautiful presentation.
