Cucumbers were always a vegetable I overlooked. I never saw them having much flavor and never knew how to “cook” them. Then I came across this recipe for sweet and sour cucumbers. I decided to try it out. I had most of the ingredients and loved how easy it looked. 

Soon enough I had the cucumbers sliced, ingredients mixed and the salad chilling in the refrigerator until dinnertime. Once served, I was surprised how tasty and sweet this was. The salt and vinegar definitely give it a kick and is very refreshing.

This is a great and easy recipe to serve as a side and would be a hit at a cookout! I really enjoyed this dish and now buy cucumbers on the regular! 

Ingredients: 2 cucumbers, sugar, salt, pepper, vinegar and fresh dill.

Finely slice the cucumbers and sprinkle salt on them in a strainer. 

In a separate bowl, stir vinegar, dill, sugar, and pepper until sugar is dissolved.

Drain cucumbers well; pat dry. 

Add cucumbers to dressing and stir to blend.

Refrigerate at least 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
