- 1 medium head green cabbage about 2 pounds cored and thinly sliced or shredded
- 1 large seedless or English cucumber about 1 pound sliced in round discs as thinly as possible
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 1/2 cup white wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 4 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 cup cold water
Toss the cabbage, cucumber and dill together in a large bowl. Don't be freaked out by how big the salad looks; it settles as it marinates. Whisk the vinegar, salt and sugar together in a small bowl until the salt and sugar dissolve. Stir in the water. Pour the liquid over the salad and let it marinate, tossing the cabbage occasionally. After 1 hour, it should be a bit wilted and crunch, after 2 hours the flavor is even better.
