CUCUMBER SALAD WITH ONION & DILL

I'm always on the hunt for good side dishes.  I remember when Grey and I first got married, I think the only side I ever served him, for probably two solid years, was frozen peas.  The poor man quietly ate his shrunken green pellets and never complained; but then again, he was also in the Navy at the time and was probably just happy it wasn't ship-gruel!

This summery side is one my mother-in-law, Louise, shared with me a few years ago and now it's a regular in my rotation. It's great paired with your favorite grilled meat, shared at a picnic, or -- simply called lunch and eaten solo.  I like it because there's no carbs but it actually feels substanstial.  (This is code for: stuff your face without guilt, in my book.)

One tip -- definitely use full fat sour cream.  The recipe calls for such a small amount and it truly makes it taste so much better.  In fact, do yourself a favor and never use low-fat anything again.  You'll eat so much less and be 100 times happier.  Or at least I am.  On to the Cuke Salad...

CUCUMBER SALAD WITH ONIONS & DILL

2 or 3 cucumbers, sliced into super thin disks
juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup sour cream (or a tad more)
hearty sprinkling of salt (mine is reddish in the picture on the sour cream because it's Himalayan)
2 small onions, sliced thin (your Walla Wallas would be great here!)
dill, (fresh or dried; a lot...to taste)

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and stir until veggies are well coated.  Chill until served.
