1 lemon cucumber
2 tablespoons fresh dill
3 garlic cloves
1 cup yogurt, full-fat
French bread

Steps:

  • Crush 3 cloves of garlic.
  • Finely chop about 2 tablespoons of fresh dill.
  • Mix cucumber, garlic and dill with about 8 ounces of yogurt and add salt and pepper to taste. You may want to chill it for just a little bit before you serve it but that's not necessary.
  • Serve with french bread or even crackers!

LEMON CUCUMBERS



Lemon Cucumbers image

A change from the usual vinegar cucumbers. A great combination of sweet and tart. Cucumbers will "juice" as they chill.

Provided by jp mims

Categories     Summer

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 medium cucumbers, peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 small white onions or 1/2 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon bottled lemon juice (realemon)
1 teaspoon celery seed
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Place cucumbers and onion in a bowl.
  • Combine rest of the ingredients in a measuring cup.
  • Stir well.
  • Pour over cucumbers and onions.
  • Chill for 4 hours.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cucumbers: Fresh, firm, and unwaxed Persian or Kirby cucumbers are best for this recipe.
  • Slice the cucumbers thinly: This will help them absorb the flavors of the marinade more easily.
  • Use fresh dill: Fresh dill has a more pronounced flavor than dried dill, so it's worth seeking out for this recipe.
  • Don't skimp on the lemon juice: The lemon juice adds a bright, tangy flavor to the cucumbers.
  • Let the cucumbers marinate for at least 30 minutes: This will give them time to absorb the flavors of the marinade.
  • Serve the cucumbers chilled: Chilled cucumbers are more refreshing and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Fresh dill cucumbers with lemon are a refreshing, easy-to-make side dish or snack. They're perfect for summer gatherings, potlucks, or picnics. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy this delicious and healthy dish.
