I made this for a recent work potluck and there weren’t any leftovers to take home. It pairs well with tomatoes or as a foil for hamburgers. It is perfect for summer picnics. I think I clipped the original recipe from Better Homes and Gardens but I’ve tweaked it a bit.

Ingredients:

2 large sweet onions, thinly sliced (break out your mandolin!)
2 cucumbers, peeled and thinly sliced
3/4 cup white vinegar
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
2 dried chilies (optional)
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon dill

Directions:

1. Combine onions and cucumbers in a large bowl.
2. Combine vinegar and remaining ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to boil and cook 1 minute or until sugar dissolves.
3. Pour hot vinegar over the onions and cucumbers. Toss to make sure everything is coated with the vinegar.
4. Cover and chill 4 hours or overnight.
