Cucumber Salad

2 large cucumbers, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeds scraped out, thinly sliced
1 tsp. salt
¼ medium red onion, thinly sliced
6 T. sour cream (I’ve used fat free-works fine)
1 T. red wine vinegar
½ tsp. dried dill (if you use fresh you’ll probably want 1 – 2 tsp.)
Ground black pepper, to taste

In a colander, toss cucumber slices and salt; let stand until juice has drained, 30 – 45 minutes. Pat dry and transfer to a bowl and toss with red onion slices. Mix together sour cream, vinegar, dill and pepper and toss with vegetables. Can be served right away or refrigerated for several hours. Serves 4. (Although at our house it has been known to only serve 2!)

Not a new recipe today, but it has been too long since I posted one. (I do have one I'll post when I have more time.) The above is, again, a quick salad type recipe that fits the weather we're having - HOT! Although the high today has only reached 84 and the humidity is much, much lower. I also have to get my entry form in for the Kentucky State Fair by July 1st. For the general culinary entries, recipes do not have to be original. For the Specialty/Sponsored contests, they do. So after I get the entry in, I'll be back! Enjoy!
