This is G's father's signature cucumber salad, though the amounts are never the same because no one measures them - it's more of a template of flavours, really. With its thinly chopped spheres of cucumber and onions slicked in a tangy, creamy dressing of vegan mayonnaise, vinegar, and a generous handful of dill, this salad transmits the fresh taste of cucumbers while also letting the acidity of the onions shine through. The result is a beautiful, versatile salad that I could eat for days during hot summers and freezing winters alike.
