Fresh Pickled Cucumber Salad – Crisp, Tangy, and Refreshing

Prepare the Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers and onions.

Make the Brine: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine vinegar, water, sugar (or sweetener), salt, mustard seeds, dill seeds, and minced garlic. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

Combine and Marinate: Pour the hot brine over the cucumber and onion mixture, stirring gently to coat everything evenly.

Cool and Store: Allow the salad to cool to room temperature. Transfer it to airtight jars or containers.

Refrigerate and Enjoy: Let the salad marinate in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before serving. The flavor deepens over time, making it even better after a few days.
