Tasty Tuesday: Creamed Cucumbers
Busy days call for simple recipes (and short blogs, unfortunately! Here I am getting this up while it's still Tuesday...) This is about the quickest salad possible short of buying a bag of mixed greens and pulling out the blue cheese.
Creamed Cucumbers
Slice 1 large cucumber (I usually peel it as well).
Throw in 3/4 to 1 tsp sugar.
Add a dash of salt from a shaker and a pinch of fresh or frozen dill.
Add enough mayonnaise to cream well (about a heaping tablespoonful).
Mix, and adjust quantities to taste.
I've heard adding a little vinegar is good too, but I haven't tried it. Maybe next time.
