Directions
Place sliced cucumbers in a bowl, sprinkle with salt, pepper and dill, mixing well. Mix in onion slices. Heat vinegar in a small saucepan just until hot, but not boiling. Remove from heat and add honey, stirring until it dissolves. Let cool to lukewarm. Pour over cucumber mixture, cover and refrigerate overnight. Transfer to a jar or plastic container with tight-fitting lid. Serve on lettuce, trimmed, if desired, with radishes and more fresh dill.
