SWEET AND SOUR DILLED CUCUMBER SALAD
This salad couldn't be easier. Simply slice the peeled cucumber as finely as you can and macerate it in sugar, vinegar, salt and chopped dill. This makes quite a lot of liquid as it sits in the refrigerator, but it's meant to.

DILLED CUCUMBER, TOMATO AND CELERY SALAD
