Lightly salted cucumbers with dill are a classic dish of Russian cuisine, filled with freshness and a crunchy texture. Their history goes back centuries when salting methods were used to preserve the harvest. This recipe embodies the simplicity and harmony of natural flavors: aromatic dill and spicy garlic give the cucumbers a rich yet delicate taste. The chilled brine makes them a refreshing addition to summer dishes or hearty snacks. Within a few hours, they acquire their characteristic saltiness, and after two days, they fully reveal their flavor. Lightly salted cucumbers pair perfectly with meat and potato dishes, adding freshness to them. They will adorn any table, bringing a touch of tradition and home comfort.
