Cucumbers In Mayo And Dill

Total Time: 15 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 4 -6 cucumbers
• 1/2-1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill (use more or less, to taste)
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise (use more or less, to taste)
• 1/4-1/2 teaspoon chopped garlic
• fresh ground pepper

Recipe

• 1 wash the cukes and score lengthwise with a fork. if you detest cukeskin, then by all means peel them.
• 2 slice the cucumbers into thin rounds, place them in a bowl, and salt generously. let the cukes rest for a few minutes. (if you're in a hurry, you don't have to wait very long: just be sure to use less salt.).
• 3 season the salad: when you're ready, pour off the liquid and mix in the mayo, dill, garlic, and pepper.

• 5 let the salted cucumbers rest for at least 10 minutes to draw out bitterness - longer you have time or are multitasking. if it's going to be a while before you season the cukes, stick the bowl in the fridge.
• 6 i use the feathery fronds from 5-6 stalks of dill and discard the stems, 'cause my family doesn't care for them. chopped fresh parsley is nice in this salad, too.
• 7 timesaver: use commercially prepared chopped garlic.
