Fresh Salad

 Mini Cucumber Salad

This is a great go-to recipe when my husband has burned out on sandwiches in his lunch.  We also like it for a side dish, although my kids won’t eat it, so I set a few cucumbers aside for them to eat plain.

·         Bag of mini-cucumbers sold at Costco

·         1 ½ cups white vinegar

·         1 cup water

·         ¾ cup sugar

·         1 teaspoon salt

·         Pepper to taste

·         2 tablespoons of dried dill

Thinly slice cucumbers and set aside.  Mix all ingredients and pour over cucumbers. Marinate in the refrigerator for a few hours and up to a couple of days.

*(Other options to add: sliced red or yellow onion, minced garlic, dried parsley, red pepper flakes, seasoning salt, fennel seeds, or cherry tomatoes, mint in place of the dill)
