For a less intense onion flavor, soak the sliced red onion in ice water for 10 minutes before adding it to the salad. Feel free to experiment with different herbs, such as mint or parsley, in addition to or instead of dill. If you prefer a tangier salad, reduce the amount of sugar slightly. This salad is best served chilled. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Nov 5, 2024Definitely let it sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours. The longer it sits, the better the flavors meld.

Sep 10, 2024I found it a bit too sweet for my taste, so I reduced the sugar to 3/4 cup and it was perfect.

Mar 1, 2024I love the addition of red onion – it adds a nice bite. I also used apple cider vinegar instead of white vinegar, and it was delicious.
