Fresh from the garden

     We just finished off the cucumbers that I’d made into a creamed cucumber salad the other day.  The recipe is simple and the salad is very refreshing.

     Creamed Cucumbers

     Allow enough time to refrigerate salted cucumbers slices several hours.

     2 cucumbers

     1 teaspoon salt

     1/2 cup of light cream

     1 tablespoon of sugar 

     1 tablespoon vinegar

     1/8 teaspoon of dill weed

     Pare cucumbers and slice very thin.  Add salt, then refrigerate for several hours.  Rinse with cold water, squeezing out the salt.  Make dressing by combining the cream, vinegar, sugar, and dill weed.  Pour over cucumber slices toss gently and serve.

    Thanks!

    We do enjoy this recipe especially with fresh from the garden cukes.

    • The directions call for sugar, but there’s none in the ingredients list?

      OOOPS! It’s there now, glad you caught it. I wrote it out at 3 a.m. LOL! I’m not surprised I missed an ingredient.
