Twisted Sister’s Creamy Cucumber Salad
RECIPE BY: twissis
When I arrived in Iceland, this was my DH’s 1st food request & I went thru a lot of RZ cucumber salad recipes to be sure it wasn’t a duplicate. Siggi & my sister named this because it was original w/me & because of my twissis internet identity. For best results, don’t make this a dy ahead, but do allow at least 2 hrs for the flavors to blend & the “cream” to develop from the finished ingredient mix. I promise you’ll like this. (Stated time does not include refrigeration time)

Ingredients
Directions
1
Peel & slice cucumbers in 1/2 in thick slices. Then half ea slice & transfer all slices to a lrg mixing bowl (See note).2
Roughly dice red onion & add to the bowl.3
Quarter tomatoes, remove seeds, rough dice the tomato “meat” & add to the bowl.4
Thinly slice 1/2 green pepper, cut slices in 1 in strips & add to the bowl.5
Toss prepared “veggies” to achieve a good distributional mix.6
Add last 6 ingredients to bowl, mix well & refrigerate at least 2 hrs (stirring at least once to redistribute ingredients).7
Notes: The cucumber cut is esp important. If thinly sliced, most cucumbers wilt & do not retain their crunch. -- When all ingredients have been combined, the mixture will appear dry & lack a creamy texture or appearance. DO NOT PANIC – that will begin to change almost immediately.8
Note added 7/24/06: In response to reviewer comments, the amt of salt has been reduced by half. If you reduce further, you will likely lose any salt component in the mix.

Super duper! I will definitely make this again. Second time around I used a little less red onion than the recipe called for. I also used a German dill seasoning packet made for cucumber salads that I found at a German market. Thank you!!!

I made this without the tomatoes only because I didnt have any and it was delicious. I recommend this to those who dont want something heavy. Very good.

My seasoning salt must be an extremely salty variety as I added only 1/2 the stated amount and it was too much for my taste. Instead of the tomato, I added another small cucumber. I also used fresh parsley. Next time I will start with less seasoning salt because I think the other flavors in this salad are very good. (Edited to add: I added another small cucumber the next day and thought this salad was even better so added another star!)

Excellent salad! I served it with roasted cauliflower and pork chops - great meal. We loved the dressing and will have this again. Thanks, Carole in Orlando
