This is a simple oldie and goodie. My sister makes a cucumber dill salad that is yummy. Since its the unofficial start of summer, it called to me to make this super healthy salad to go with our burgers Saturday night. It felt especially fitting since we have dill going to town this summer. Traditional salads include red onion, but I have mixed feelings on onions, so I don't include them. Likewise i know there are a lot of traditional versions of this with a creamy base, but i prefer the healthy and super tangy version with the vinegar. A little bit goes a long way. I did use this excuse to pull out my mandolin. Every opportunity to use a kitchen gadget is a good opportunity.
Ingredients
1 English cucumber sliced thinly
3 tbl white vinegar
2 tsp sugar
2 tbl fresh dill.
Pepper to taste
I started out with slicing the cucumber up on the mandolin.
In a small bowl I mixed up the vinegar, sugar, dill, and pepper.
Toss the vinegar sauce with the cucumbers and let it soak up the deliciousness. They were even better the second day :)
