Dill Cucumber Salad

Dill Cucumber Salad

I was having a lamb dinner with a friend last night and wanted a nice, light side dish. A salad, for sure, but I wasn’t in the mood for a tossed salad. I had a couple of cucumbers so I decided to use them. I used a mix of vinegar, oil, salt, sugar and dill. By mixing the salad a few hours before dinner the cucumbers become a sort of fresh pickle. The nice thing about a salad like this is that it keeps fresh and tasty for days. I even like to drain the cucumbers and add them to a sandwich, like a pickle.
