It looks like ordinary cucumbers and onions. But there's a zesty surprise hiding behind that creamy coolness - a little zing of minced jalapeno. Not really hot (though you could use a milder Anaheim pepper if you're sensitive), just a little zip. A little celery adds unexpected crunch.
Ingredients:
4 -5 cucumbers (8-10 inch)
1/2-1 sweet onion
1 jalapeno, seeds and membranes removed
2 stalks celery
1/2 cup sour cream, to taste
salt and pepper
1 -2 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)
sunflower seeds (to garnish) (optional)
Directions:
1. Peel and dice cucumbers. (Leave skins on if they're unwaxed, garden cukes).
2. Quarter onion and slice paper-thin.
3. Mince jalapeno.
4. Cut celery in 1/4 dice.
5. Toss all veggies together with sour cream and seasonings.
6. Garnish with sunflower seeds if desired.
