Cool 'n' Dreamy Cucumber Salad

Creamy-tasting with a little sour cream, but still very light, this cooling summer salad comes from the old More-with-Less cookbook, by Doris Jantzen Longacre, published by the Herald Press in 1975.


1 large cucumber, sliced thinly
1-2 T. finely cut fresh dill (use feathery leaves, not flowery heads)

Combine in a small bowl:

2 T. sour cream (or, the recipe says, mayonnaise)
1 T. vinegar
1 T. oil
1 t. salt
dash pepper

Mix and pour over cucumber slices. Chill and serve.


~ I add onions, at a rate of about one onion per cucumber, if they are mild and fewer if they are sharp. They really add a nice crunch and a complimentary flavor to the salad.

~ I suggest making a much larger batch than this (X 4 is my suggestion). When the craving for cucumber salad hits for a serious food lover, this is less than one serving!
