We have a tradition at our house to serve this creamy cucumber salad with the other Hungarian specialties my mom learned to make from the women at church. It's especially good during the summer when the cucumbers are freshly picked from the garden. -Pamela Eaton, Monclova, Ohio

MARINATED CUCUMBERS IN SOUR CREAM
Next to dipped in ranch dressing, this is my favorite way to eat cucumbers. I love the cool flavor of the sour cream with the crunch of the cucumbers. If you are like my mom, you will remove the seeds ("to get rid of the burp"). If you're like me, you'll wonder what she's talking about while munching on these, seeds and all! :)

Steps:
- Dissolve the salt and sugar in the vinegar, add the sour cream and stir smooth. You may like more or less vinegar, salt or sugar, but don't make the dressing too sweet. Add the chives, dill and celery seed. Slice the unpared cucumbers paper-thin and combine with the dressing. Chill for 1 hour or more. Sour cream cucumbers improve in taste as they stand. The flavor of the cucumbers seeps into the dressing.

- Chill the cucumbers and dressing before serving: This will make the salad extra refreshing.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh dill, chives, or parsley add a pop of color and flavor to the salad.
