This is the perfect side dish for grilled meat. My family eats it with grilled spicy meatballs. You can adjust the ingredients to make it as creamy or as sweet as you want.

SERVES 2 -4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 English cucumber
1/2-1 medium onions (red or yellow)
1-2 garlic cloves, minced
4 tablespoons yogurt (or sourcream)
1-2 tablespoon vinegar
1-2 tablespoon sunflower oil (or olive oil)
salt and pepper
sugar, to taste
1/2 cup dill, chopped

Directions

1
Half the cucumber lengthwise and slice thin. Half the onion and slice really thin. (I always use the mandolin).
2
To a small bowl add : garlic, yogurt, vinegar, oil, salt, pepper and sugar.
3
Mix thoroughly with the cucumber and onion. Taste and adjust seasoning. You could eat it now or put in the fridge for a while.
4
Before serving fold in the dill.

We really enjoy cucumber salads and this one was great! I did double the recipe, used sour cream instead of yogurt, olive oil instead of sunflower oil and dried dill. Added about a teaspoon of sugar and eyeballed the amount of dill. Very yummy and easy to make! Thank you Bellinda for sharing this recipe.

This was very tasty! I think my cucumber and onion must have been huge, though, as the amount we had could easily serve 4-6 as a side!! I used homemade yogurt, which is a bit runnier than storebought and/or sour cream, and next time I won't as my dressing was a bit watery. Thanks for posting, this is a great variation on my usual vinegar/salt/sugar cucumbers . Made for Veg*n Swap #13.

Mmmm, this salad is a definite winner! I luv how simple, easy and quick it is to put together and its OUTSTANDING taste! The yoghurt, garlic and cucumber go great together and make for a creamy, crisp, spicy salad experience. I used only 1 clove of garlic, but after letting the salad marinate in the fridge for half a day that gave the salad quite some bite. Yum! Im sure this will be made time and time again in my house. THANKS SO MUCH for sharing this winner of a recipe with us, Bellinda! Made and reviewed for Veg'n'Swap#13 August 09.
