      @@artivedi3887 to be honest I have rice vinegar now and it taste the same dang thing as regular vinegar. I really don't think it even matters! Lol I know I've made it twice and used apple cider vinegar both times and it was great.

      Rice vinegar is milder. It's 4% acid and apple cider vinegar is 5%.
      It does have a slightly different flavor profile too, but there's not a giant difference between rice vinegar and apple cider vinegar.

    Cucumbers, chives and dill from the garden. This is just the recipe I was looking for during this heat wave, with cucs coming out my ears. Thanks!

    I made a couple changes. I went with 1/4 cup of yogurt and 1/4 cup of mayo. Instead of the vinegar I used some kosher dill pickle juice. I figured that would add vinegar, salt and dill. Plus I didn't wait for the water to drain. I just grabbed handfuls with paper towels and squeezed out the water. Too lazy to wait an hour LOL Tastes pretty good, but I assume it will be a lot better once it's been in the frig for a few hours.

    I squeeze water out of cucumbers without adding salt and drink it because has lots of vitamins and good detox for insomnia. Instead of vinegar I add little bit lemon juice, sour cream, salt pepper and dill. Instead of onion I add a little bit green onion but you don’t have to. This is my favorite salad I love it. I grow cucumbers every year to fight insomnia with it

      for the English cucumber I take a fork and rake it from end to end, all the way around the cucumber, spacing between each rake - you have some - but less, rind

      @carolrobinson7779 4 роки тому

      You can use a fork just drag the times the length of the cuke before slicing. I have several peelers that leave scallops on the outside of different styles I use for various veggies, adds eye appeal.

    Creamy cucumber salad is a very popular summer salad in Poland called Mizeria ...and no, there’s nothing miserable about it 😂, on the contrary, it’s wonderful. Traditionally it’s made from sliced cucumbers, white or regular yellow onion, garnished with chopped fresh dill, salt and black pepper, the dressing is simply mixture of sour cream and a tsp or TBs of white vinegar mixed in just before serving , so the cucumbers remain crisp , not saggy. Perfect salad for picnic, barbecue, outdoor cookout or just as lunch on a hot day. In USA I started to jazzy up the classic recipe by substituting red onion , white wine vinegar and low fat sour cream or Greek yogurt, it all tastes great to me. Sea salt and fresh ground pepper a must.

    I'm not much for salads but my cleaning lady comes every two weeks, a farm girl who cooks for a family of five and deals with I don't like this or that and so she cooks around them. For a treat I always prepare a special lunch for her and served this salad, and she raved about it. I guess the accolades don't get any better than that. BTW your voice reminds me of Angie Harmon in Rizzoli and Isles

    Hey, it would be a good idea to put the cucumbers and onions in a salad spinner and after an hour or so dump the liquid and give it a spin to wick off the excess liquid. That looks soooo yummy!
