CREAMY CUCUMBER SALAD

Steps:

• Put a large colander in a large bowl. Add the cucumbers and onions to the colander, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon salt and toss until the salt is evenly distributed. Let stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour and up to 2 hours.
• Transfer the cucumbers and onions from the colander to a paper towel-lined baking sheet and pat them dry with another layer of paper towels.
• Whisk together the sour cream, dill, vinegar and a few cracks of black pepper in a medium bowl. Add the cucumbers and onions and toss until coated.
• To make ahead: Salt and pat dry the cucumbers and onions as above, then keep separate from the dressing until ready to serve.

GERMAN CREAMED CUCUMBERS

Steps:

• Salt the cucumbers and onions throughout and place in large bowl; place a plate that will fit inside the bowl on top of them.
• Let stand in refrigerator for 2 or more hours.
• When the time is up, drain the water from the cucumbers and onions; add the sour cream, half and half, vinegar and a tablespoon more of salt, if desired. If you do not like it to be too soupy, you can decrease the amounts of the half and half and sour cream by half or more, depending on your taste.
• Mix thoroughly; place in refrigerator for another half hour to a hour to chill the ingredients and serve.
• Makes about 10 servings.

CREAMED CUCUMBERS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• 1. Mix mayo, sour cream, vinegar, sugar, garlic, onion, & dill weed in a medium bowl.
• 2. Peel and slice cucumbers and onions and put in a strainer. Pour salt over the cucumbers and mix until well coated. Allow to sit for 1/2 an hour or so. Rinse salt off and pat cucumbers dry with a paper towel. This process brings the moisture out of the cucumbers so the recipe stays creamy instead of liquidy.
• 3. Stir cucumbers into mayo mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. It will even taste better the next day just as the old fashioned cucumbers and onions would!

• Drain thoroughly, pressing cucumber to extract as much moisture as possible. Stir the vinegar into the sour cream.
• Add a dash of white pepper.

CREAMED CUCUMBER DELIGHT

Steps:

• Peel and slice cucumber and onions thinly. The best results are even slices. I use a mandolin for this step.
• Place sliced cucumber and onions in a medium bowl that has a lid.
• In a small bowl mix together the Miracle Whip, sugar, vinegar. Add salt and pepper if using. Pour over top of the cucumbers/onions. Place the lid on the bowl and give it a shake or two.
• Marinate 6 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
• Do not add more liquid. Juice will keep for a long time. Just keep adding onions and cucumber as they get low until you no longer get the wonderful flavor on the cucumbers. Then it is time for a new batch.
