Our Grandmother made this delicious creamy cucumber salad, and it was a staple on her dinner table all summer long. This salad is a great childhood memory of times spent with grandma, and we are delighted to share it with you. We hope your children love it.

2 medium cucumbers, peeled
1/2 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste


<p>Cut cucumbers in half longwise. With a small spoon, scrape out seeds and slice cucumbers about 1/4 inch thick slices. In medium size bowl, add sour cream, vinegar, sugar and fresh dill and mix together with a spoon until smooth. Add the cucumbers and toss gently to coat the cucumbers with dressing. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.</p> <p>Makes 4-5 servings.</p> <p>Variation: Add 1/2 cup of mango, watermelon or cantaloupe chunks to this recipe.</p>
