Sour Cream Cucumbers

Back in early January I started a new project. My initial goal was to begin posting some of my favorite recipes, starting with one of my favorites, Tuna Souffle. Well, that goal was quickly forgotten as I was battling many medical issues. That is, until this evening, when I needed the recipe for my mom's souffle! I realized that I had erroneously left out a very important step ... adding 3 of the ingredients to the mixture! That has now been edited and corrected ... so if you haven't tried it already, try the recipe! It's really yummy! I'm waiting for mine to finish baking so I can have my dinner.

While I wait, I thought I'd give you another yummy, fresh recipe. This one is from my father. He alters it every time he makes it, but I came across a version that I enjoy. It is "Sour Cream Cucumbers." These are great eaten right out of the fridge, used on a gyro sandwich, or served on a garden fresh salad. Either way, it's an easy recipe ... simply splendid for spring/summer! This recipe and versions of it are often attributed to Ukranian and Greek (Tzatziki) cucumber salad recipes. Let me know what you think!

Sour Cream Cucumbers

1/2 cup sour cream

3 tablespoons white vinegar

1 tablespoon sugar

pepper to taste

4 medium cucumbers, thinly sliced

1 small sweet onion, thinly sliced and

separated into rings (this is an optional

ingredient)

optional ... 1-2 teaspoons of dry dill or

1 1/2 tablespoons of fresh dill

In a serving bowl, combine the sour cream,

vinegar, sugar and pepper. Stir in cucumbers

and onion. Cover and refrigerate for at least

4 hours. Serve as a side dish, on salad or as a

simple, healthy and fresh snack!

Until Tomorrow,
