Blu's Tips

🧂
Salt the Cucumbers First
Salting draws out excess water so your dressing does not get diluted. Skip this step and you get a watery salad. Do the step and you get a crisp one.
🌿
Fresh Dill Makes the Difference
Dried dill is not the same. Fresh dill gives this salad a bright clean flavor that dried dill simply cannot match.
🥒
Slice Them Thin
Use a mandoline or a sharp knife to get really thin slices. Thin cucumbers absorb the dressing better and have the perfect texture.
🍽️
Pairs With Everything
This salad goes with grilled chicken, fish, burgers, sandwiches, and pretty much anything you put on the table in summer.

How to Store It

Keep it fresh as long as possible

❄️
Refrigerator
2 Days
Store covered in the fridge. The cucumbers will continue to release water — drain before serving and add fresh dill.
🥒
Best Fresh
Same Day
This salad is at its best within a few hours of making it. The cucumbers stay crispest when freshly dressed.
No Freezing
N/A
Do not freeze cucumber salad. The cucumbers turn soft and mushy when thawed.
🙏

Some recipes never go out of style because they are simply right. This is one of them.
