Tangy Dill Cucumber Salad

 

Tangy Dill Cucumber Salad

All of these summer recipes have amounts given, but it's very unusual for me to measure much of anything. I come in from the garden with a few cucumbers...  then I make what looks to me like enough dressing to coat them.  I believe this is typical of many old housewives, and why so many of you will remember something tasting slightly different than it does when you follow the recipe your grandmother gives you.  

This dressing is one of my favorites - it's great for cucumbers, but it's also a great salad dressing, or on broccoli and cauliflower... just an all purpose summer dressing.  Quick and easy.

Cucumber Salad:

Approximately 4 "smallish medium" cucumbers, peeled and sliced  - around 4 cups sliced.
1/2 a red onion, sliced thinly

Dressing:

1 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp lime
¼ cup white sugar
4 teaspoons white vinegar
½ teaspoon  dill seed
½ teaspoon  salt

Again, I never measure the vinegar.  Add everything except the vinegar into a small jar with a tight fighting lid.  Then pour in a little vinegar, and shake.  Check the consistency, add more vinegar as needed to reach the consistency you would like.
