Sweet and Sour Dilled Cucumber Salad image

This salad couldn't be easier. Simply slice the peeled cucumber as finely as you can and macerate it in sugar, vinegar, salt and chopped dill. This makes quite a lot of liquid as it sits in the refrigerator, but it's meant to.

SWEET AND SOUR CUCUMBER DILL SALAD



Sweet and Sour Cucumber Dill Salad image

I cut this from a U.S. magazine, but not sure which one as I've had it for quite some time. This summertime dish can be prepared and chilled two hours before serving. The recipe calls for English cucumbers but you can use regular ones if you can't find the English ones. You want a total of about 1 1/2 lbs. of cukes. Cooking time is chilling time.

DIABETIC DILL SWEET CUCUMBER SALAD



Diabetic Dill Sweet Cucumber Salad image

It is a variation on a cucumber salad my grandmother always makes in the late spring and summer. Of course, she uses real dill out of her garden. In any case, my dad is now diabetic and so we made some substitutions. It is a refreshing addition to any meal.

Provided by Katie Kleinhaus

Categories     Vegetable

Time 20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cucumbers
1/4 cup thinly sliced onion
1 cup fat free sour cream
1/4 cup Splenda sugar substitute
2 teaspoons dried dill weed

Steps:

  • Peel and slice the two cucumbers and slice the onion.
  • Set aside cucumber and onion.
  • Mix together fat free sour cream, Splenda and dill (add more Splenda if you desire it to be more sweet).
  • Add the vegetables to the sweet dressing.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to let flavors blend.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cucumbers: For best results, use fresh, firm cucumbers that are not too seedy. English or Persian cucumbers are good choices.
  • Slice the cucumbers thinly: This will help them absorb the marinade more evenly.
  • Use a good quality vinegar: White vinegar is the traditional choice, but you can also use apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar. Make sure it's a vinegar that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Add some sweetness: Sugar or honey are both good options for adding sweetness to the salad. You can also use a combination of the two.
  • Add some sourness: Lemon juice or lime juice can be used to add sourness to the salad. You can also use a combination of the two.
  • Add some herbs and spices: Dill, garlic, and mustard seeds are all classic additions to cucumber dill salad. You can also add other herbs and spices that you enjoy, such as basil, oregano, or cumin.
  • Let the salad marinate: The longer the salad marinates, the more flavorful it will be. You can marinate the salad for as little as 30 minutes or for as long as overnight.

Conclusion:

Sweet and sour cucumber dill salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Experiment with different vinegars, sweeteners, and herbs and spices to create a salad that you and your family will love.
