- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried dill)

Instructions
- Place the sliced cucumbers in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Let them sit for about 15 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels.

Notes
- For a tangier flavor, add an extra tablespoon of vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice.
