Cucumber, Onion, and Dill Salad
Cucumber, onion, and dill salad is tart, crisp, and fresh, just like it came right from your favorite New York appetizing counter.
The Backstory: Whenever I have leftover cucumbers, I make cucumber, onion,and dill salad. I am a big fan of this easy-to-prepare side dish. My mother made this all time and my dad loved the tartness of the cucumbers and the onions. I follow in my mom’s foot steps. I usually have this with meat or poultry. I find it is also a great companion with a sandwich. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. More of the Backstory after the recipe…
