I mentioned on the Podcast recently that I love cucumber salad. My favorite way to eat it is marinated in water and white vinegar, but recently I decided to change things up a bit and make some creamy dressing instead. It was a nice twist on an old classic, and my family gobbled it up.
Feel free to swap out the dill for your favorite herbs, and throw in a little sliced or chopped tomato, if you'd like a little extra flavor or color. Cucumber salads are so basic that they're super easy to really make your own!
