Two medium regular cucumbers may be used in place of one large English cucumber, I prefer the taste and texture of English and has less water in it -plan ahead there is a 75 minute draining time for the cucumber slices to remove excess moisture, this is a crucial step to prevent a watery salad, the onion is only optional, I like to add it in, this is a great recipe for garden fresh cucumbers :) Ingredients:
1 large english cucumber (peeled, halved lengthwise, seeds removed then sliced) |
1 teaspoon kosher salt |
1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar |
1/2 cup hellmann's mayonnaise |
1/3 cup sour cream |
1 pinch sugar |
2 -4 teaspoons chopped fresh dill |
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (or to taste) |
1 small red onion, thinly sliced (optional) |
Directions:
1. Place the cucumber slices into a glass bowl, sprinkle with vinegar and kosher salt; toss using hands.
2. Allow to sit for about 45 minutes.
3. Pour out any liquid from the bowl and drain in a colander; allow to sit for another 30 minutes to allow any excess drainage.
4. In a bowl mix together the mayonnaise with sour cream, sugar, fresh dill and black pepper.
5. Place the cucumbers in a bowl; pour the dressing over and toss to coat.
6. Mix in red onion slices (if using).
7. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
