Instructions

1
Start with a nearly empty 30 oz mayonnaise jar, leaving the remaining mayonnaise at the bottom and on the sides.
2
Thinly slice the cucumbers and sweet Vidalia onion. A mandoline is helpful for uniform slices. Finely chop the fresh dill.
3
Pack the sliced cucumbers, onions, and chopped dill into the mayonnaise jar, layering them alternately.
4
Sprinkle the granulated sugar over the vegetables in the jar.
5
Pour white vinegar into the jar until the vegetables are covered and the jar is nearly full.
6
Add a pinch of salt.
7
Seal the jar tightly and shake vigorously to combine all the ingredients and coat the vegetables in the creamy dressing.
8
Refrigerate for at least a few hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
