SWEET AND SOUR CUCUMBER DILL SALAD



Sweet and Sour Cucumber Dill Salad image

I cut this from a U.S. magazine, but not sure which one as I've had it for quite some time. This summertime dish can be prepared and chilled two hours before serving. The recipe calls for English cucumbers but you can use regular ones if you can't find the English ones. You want a total of about 1 1/2 lbs. of cukes. Cooking time is chilling time.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, organic cucumbers. English or Persian cucumbers are ideal for this salad, as they have a thin skin and don't need to be peeled.
  • Slice the cucumbers thinly and evenly so that they cook evenly. You can use a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife.
  • If you don't have white vinegar, you can use apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar. However, white vinegar will give the salad a more classic flavor.
  • The sugar helps to balance out the acidity of the vinegar. If you don't like your salad too sweet, you can reduce the amount of sugar or omit it altogether.
  • The mustard seeds and celery seeds add a bit of spice and flavor to the salad. If you don't have these seeds, you can use ground mustard or celery salt instead.
  • Fresh dill is essential for this salad. It adds a bright, herbaceous flavor that really makes the salad pop. If you don't have fresh dill, you can use dried dill, but it won't be as flavorful.
  • Let the salad marinate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.

Conclusion:

Sweet and sour dilled cucumber salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it sweet, sour, or spicy, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
