REC: Sweet and Sour Cucumbers

One of my favorite side dishes. Works great with salmon!

SWEET-AND-SOUR CUCUMBERS WITH FRESH DILL

This refreshing dish can be prepared and chilled two hours before serving.

2 English hothouse cucumbers (1 1/2 pounds total), unpeeled, very
thinly sliced
Or
1 1/2 pounds regular cucumbers, peeled, seeded and sliced very thin

1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh dill
3 tablespoons Splenda
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Stir vinegar, dill, sugar, and pepper in large bowl until sugar is
dissolved.

Add cucumbers to dressing and stir to blend. Refrigerate at least 15
minutes and up to 2 hours; serve cold.

Makes 6 to 8 servings.

I like adding some sliced onion to mine. It also works well with
regular cucumbers, though you might want to peel those.

1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh dill
3 tablespoons Splenda
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Stir vinegar, dill, sugar, and pepper in large bowl until sugar is

I love this kind of cucumber salad.

I also make a Thai recipe, using rice vinegar instead of white vinegar and a
little minced chili pepper instead of dill. The chili can be the dried pepper
flakes, but it is better to use a fresh chili. I usually use about 1/2 tsp for
2 cucumbers, but should be modified to taste. I also add onion or grape
tomatoes.
