My mom was German so I was raised on a lot of traditional recipes that she make for us growing up. Delicious foods like Pork Roast and Pan Gravy with Spaetzle. Or her delicious soup’s like classic chicken soup and navy bean soup recipes that I have perfected over the years.
But one of my favorite recipes that she taught me and we enjoyed growing up with her is the Cucumber Salad with Dill which is so refreshing and super simple to make.
Spring for me is sign a renewal. As the temperatures go up, our foods get lighter. I love making this salad because it is light, affordable, quick, and you can eat a lot without feeling guilty.
Perfect for low-carb diet‘s, you only need four simple ingredients for this recipe. I hope you’ll try my Mom’s (and my) delicious and easy Cucumber Salad with Dill recipe.
Fresh and Easy Cucumber Salad with Dill Recipe
Ingredients:
2 large cucumbers
2 tablespoons Sour Cream
2 teaspoons Dill Weed, or to taste
1/2 – 3/4 teaspoon salt
Directions:
1. Peel cucumbers and cut in half lengthwise. Take a large spoon and scrape out the seeds. Cut the cucumbers in half lengthwise again And then proceed to chunk cut them.
2. Place the cucumbers in a medium-sized bowl and cover them with salt. It should taste salty so you may need to add a touch, depending on the size of the cucs. Toss the Cucumbers with the salt so they are covered. Allow them to sit for 10 minutes or so.
3. Drain the liquid from the cucumbers (do not rinse the cucs) and place them in a serving dish.
4. Mix sour cream and dill with the cucumbers. Add more sour cream or dill to your taste and serve immediately.
Cucumbers are the perfect side dish for grilled meats or anytime you feel the need. This does not serve well the next day so make only what you will eat immediately.
I hope you give it a try. Let me know your thoughts.
