Cucumber-Dill Salad

1 seedless European cucumber, or 2 American cucumbers
3 tablespoons cider or white vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 small red onion, sliced and broken into rings
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill

Wash the cucumber(s) and partially remove the peel in lengthwise strips using a vegetable peeler or fork and leaving a little skin between each strip. Thinly slice the cucumber widthwise. Place the vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper in a bowl and whisk until the sugar is dissolved. Add the cucumber, onion, and dill, and toss well. The salad can be served at once, but it will improve in flavor if you let the ingredients marinate for 5 minutes.

Cucumbers with Fresh Dill! This used to be a hands-down favorite when I used to ranch cook...

1-2 med. cucumbers, peeled and sliced thin
1/4 c. light (or fat-free) sour cream
1 T. lemon juice
2 T. dill weed (fresh is super, but the stuff in a jar is fine too)
1/2 t. salt
dash of pepper
1/2 t. sugar

Mix it all together and chow down!!! Also, if you like onions, they're excellent in here.

Answer 4

Cut the cucumbers thin and put in a bowl, cut an onion thin and add it to the bowl. Now salt them very well. More than you usually would. Let stand for an hour and cover with vinegar. Really Good
