Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.
Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and let sit for about 10-15 minutes. This helps to release excess water from the cucumbers.
Prepare the Dressing:
Mince the garlic and chop the dill finely.
In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, sugar, olive oil, and minced garlic. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Add in the dill and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combine and Toss:
After the cucumbers have rested, gently pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess water.
Toss the cucumbers with the prepared dressing and mix well to coat.
Chill and Serve:
Let the cucumbers marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, though the flavors will deepen and improve if left overnight.
Serve chilled, garnished with a little extra dill if desired.
