This salad goes well as a side with any potato
dish and, in the summer, works great for a cookout! It’s simple, quick, and
very refreshing. We used 'White Wonder' cucumbers we grew in our community garden plot. This recipe serves two people.
Ingredients:
- 1 big cucumber
- 2 tbsp sour cream (or more, to taste)
- 1 tbsp dill, thinly chopped
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Steps:
1. Peel the cucumber, remove the seeds, and
slice it thinly. This can be done with a knife or on the long side of a box
grater.
2. Salt the sliced cucumber and let it sit in a colander for about two hours to "sweat" the excess water from the cucumber.
3. Drain off the liquid. This step is vital — otherwise, the salad would be too wet, and the sour cream would get watery.
4. Mix in the rest of the ingredients with the cucumber. Serve
immediately.
PIN THIS FOR LATER!
