Recipe from Sara Moulton
Ingredients:
One 5-to 6 inch-inch piece seedless ( English) cucumber
Note: I used 4-6 small kirby cucumbers
2 tablespoons fresh dill leaves or 1 teaspoon dried
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1- 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
Thinly slice enough of the cucumber to make 1-1/3 cups. Finely chop the dill (about 1 tablespoon). Combine the cucumber with the vinegar, dill, sugar, salt, and pepper in a small nonreactive bowl. Set it aside at room temperature and use within an hour, or cover and refrigerate for later use.
Enjoy!

Velva…thanks for reminding me that I could make these simpler veggie dishes and enjoy them immensely. We have an apple cider vinegar producer not far…hence, I will try making your cucumbers with this small substitute. Thanks for the idea ;o)Have a wonderful week and flavourful wishes,Claudia

Love fresh made pickles, usually I make bread & butter pickles (why are they called that?) but this looks like a nice diversion. Now where'd I put that burger?

When I was a kid, I hated dill. And would get so mad when my parents put it on cucumbers (even though I loved dill pickles). Now, I'm a big fan of fresh dill. These are so simple and delicious :)Sues

The Short (dis)Order Cook
One of my favorite ways to enjoy cucumbers is tossed with some sugar and cider vinegar. I've never tried adding dill though, even though I know many people do. Either way, it's a perfect summer side dish and I\”m thinking it's time to get some dill in my next batch!

Hi Velva… thanks for stopping by my site the other day. Glad you liked my pasta dish. I am a total salad fanatic myself. Sometimes I will eat just a simple salad for lunch. As most other folks have pointed out, using dill is interesting (and I like interesting when it comes to food). Next time I feel like a salad I will definitely try this.aipi (http://usmasala.blogspot.com/)
