Cucumber Salad Fresh from the Vine
Cucumbers are such an interesting vegetable. They are cool, crisp, crunchy, hearty and light all at the same time. If you mix cucumbers with a few simple ingredients, you have one of the best salads around. Let me show you what I mean.
Let's take a trip into my garden. Look at them, my cucumbers are huge! Because they were grown on the vine, gravity works to make them grow long, healthy, and straight. I'm so impressed with what nature can do.
To make the salad, I peel the cucumbers (saving the peel for my chickens to feast on) and add just a few other ingredients:
- Garlic
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Oil & vinegar
- Chopped Dill
- Juice of one lemon
I like my cucumbers to be cut thick to give me more crunch! You may prefer to cut yours thin or in cubes, which would only change the presentation. You decide.
I add fresh chopped garlic, chopped dill and the other ingredients and top it all off with some lemon juice. The whole thing takes about 10 minutes to prepare. This will become a frequently requested meal.
