This recipe is heart healthy. This recipe is diabetes friendly.

Yield: 4 servings

  • 3 large unwaxed Kirby (pickling) cucumbers
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • few drops hot pepper sauce (if desired)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Trim ends of cucumber and slice thinly. There should be about two cups. Sprinkle salt over the cucumber slices and allow to stand in a colander while you prepare the other ingredients.

    In a measuring cup, combine vinegar, water, sugar, and pepper sauce, if you are using it. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Rinse cucumber slices and drain on paper towels. Toss cucumber and dill together and pour the dressing over the vegetables.

    The salad can be served immediately but improves if refrigerated for several house for the flavors to blend. Makes four servings.
