Garden Delight - Cucumer Dill Salad

 It's harvest time in the garden and the cucumbers are doing well this year. The dill is also growing like crazy - so that means cucumber dill salad.

This recipe is an adaptation of one from Epicurean magazine.

1 cucumber peeled and sliced

1/8 c. rice vinegar

1 Tbs. honey

1 Tbs. whole grain mustard

1/4 c. mayonnaise

1/4 tsp. garlic powder

1 Tbs. minced fresh dill

Salt and pepper to taste

In another small bowl, combine mayonnaise, half & half, garlic powder, dill and salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly. 

Toss cucumbers with pickled red onions and pour dill dressing mixture over and mix well. Chill until ready to serve.
