Ingredients
1 large cucumber
1 red onion
1 Tbsp fresh dill
3/4 c distilled white vinegar
1/2 c filtered water
1/2 c organic sugar
Organic sea salt and pepper
Directions
I know that cucumber skin contains curcurbatacin which can cause digestion challenges for some people, so I peeled the cucumber completely and then sliced it. In a medium bowl, mix the slices with the salt and set aside. Chop the onion and add to the cucumber mixture. In a separate bowl, combine vinegar, water, sugar, dill, and pepper. Add the liquid mixture to the cucumber and onions until the desired consistency is achieved.
I collected additional dill, basil, thyme, and leaf lettuce from the garden, mixed in broccoli slaw, and topped with the cucumber salad. I dressed baked potatoes with organic cheese and sour cream, then added garlic chives straight from the garden. We grilled organic turkey burgers made with onions and more herbs from the garden as well.
Ahhhh, the taste of summer!
