CREAMY CUCUMBER SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet or wide bowl with 1-2 paper towels.
• Scatter CUCUMBER slices on paper towel in a single layer and lightly sprinkle SEA SALT over the surface. Repeat this with a second layer.
• Allow cucumbers to rest 15 minutes (this brings moisture to the surface). Use a towel to pat the resting cucumbers dry, then transfer to a mixing bowl.
• For the dressing: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together SOUR CREAM, GARLIC, DILL, BLACK PEPPER, and WHITE VINEGAR.
• For the salad: Add RED ONIONS and DRESSING to the sliced cucumbers and toss until well-combined. Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to serve.

MY MOTHER'S EASY CUCUMBER SALAD WITH TOMATOES AND CHIVES

Steps:

• Peel the cucumber. Sometimes we just dragged a fork down the unpeeled cucumber over and over to create a striped design. Chop the cucumber into quarter-inch pieces. We always included the seeds in the regular cucumbers, but nowadays, chefs would probably leave them out.
• Combine the cucumber, vinegar and chives in a medium bowl. My mother used plain white vinegar, but you may wish to experiment with one of the many vinegar varieties.
• Chop the tomato into roughly the same size pieces as the cucumber pieces. Add to the bowl and salt to taste.
• Refrigerate about 4 hours until nicely chilled and serve with a slotted spoon.
