Dilly Cucumber Salad image

Okay, I used to be a prep cook for the Fresh Market. Most things there aren't home-made, or made from scratch. However, the Dilly cucumber salad is! It is also one of the only things I liked that I used to make when I worked there. The Fresh Market uses a bottled vinegar and oil called "Fresh Expressions" if I remember...

FOR OIL VINEGAR DRESSING
1 1/2 c olive oil, extra virgin
1 Tbsp salt
1/2 Tbsp ground black pepper
4 clove garlic, pressed and chopped

  • 4. Remove ends of cucumbers and cut cucumbers in half length-wise.
  • 5. With a metal spoon, remove the seeds from the cucumbers. (seeds in the salad are yucky!)

I used Greek yogurt instead of sour cream in the dressing and it turned out great! The yogurt made the dressing lighter and tangier.
