Ingredients

  • 2 English cucumber (or 4-5 baby cucumber)
  • 1/2 red onion
  • 1/2 cup white vinegar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 4 tablespoons fresh dill
  • 1 tablespoons celery seeds
  • 1 tablespoons mustard seeds
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions 

  • Peel the cucumbers.
  • Slice into thin pieces.
  • Peel and slice onion, likewise thin.
  • Put everything into a large mixing bowl and toss.
  • Place a plate on top of the mixture to keep it covered.
  • Marinate the pickles overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Stir, adding salt & pepper to taste.
  • Serve.

Notes

Note: You can decrease the amount of sugar initially and taste test for sweetness.
If you like your cucumbers thicker, just give them more time to marinate. If you have a mandolin, it’s the ideal tool for slicing up the cucumber and onions evenly.
