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.
Ingredients
1/2 red onion thinly sliced and halved
1 cucumber peeled and sliced
1/8 c. rice vinegar
1 Tbs. honey
1 Tbs. whole grain mustard
1/4 c. mayonnaise
3 Tbs. half & half
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1 Tbs. minced fresh dill
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Prepare onion and cucumber. Mix rice vinegar, honey and mustard along with salt and pepper in a small bowl. Add onion and mix. Let set 30 min. to pickle onion.
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.
