From Peggy's Kitchen: Quinoa has a better protein value than most grains and is perfect for those who need more protein, such as pregnant or nursing mothers.
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.
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.
Makes 4-5 servings.
Variation: Add 1/2 cup of mango, watermelon or cantaloupe chunks to this recipe.
