#851: Cucumber Salad

In order to like this recipe you have to like dill.  A lot.  I don't.  Can you see how this post is going?? 

Maybe it was the light sour cream that changed the flavor of this but I really was not a fan.  Now with that said, I'm also not a cucumber lover.  I LIKE cucumbers but can only stand to eat so many of them (unless it's mixed with a little red wine vinegar and sugar, in that case I can eat a lot).  So this was not a favorite dish of mine, nor will I make this again.  If you love dill and cucumbers though this might be the recipe for you.

1 large cucumber

2 tsp coarse sea salt

1 Tbsp light sour cream

1 tsp finely chopped onion

1 tsp fresh dill, chopped

1 tsp vinegar

1 tsp sugar

Slice cucumber into fairly thin slices. Place into a colander and sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Set on something to catch the water that drains off, and set aside.

Mix together sour cream, onion, dill, vinegar, and sugar. Cover and place in fridge.  Let cucumbers drain and dressing chill for at least an hour, up to 2 hours.

Before serving, rinse cucumbers under running water briefly. Pat dry with paper towel. Toss dressing with cucumbers and serve.
