Dilled Cucumber Yogurt Salad


This is a healthier version of the traditional yogurt dill salad with cream. It calls for a slice of onion. This means a slice from the widest part of a white onion. I use yellow onion and just eyeball it. This is adapted from Laurel's Kitchen cookbook.

DILLED CUCUMBER YOGURT SALAD


INGREDIENTS:

1 cup water

¼ cup vinegar

1 T fresh dill weed (1 tsp dry)

1 slice raw onion, (see introduction.)

2 cucumbers, thinly sliced


1 cup plain yogurt I used homemade.

½ tsp salt

dash pepper, white pepper if you care about the salad having black specks


Combine first five ingredients and let stand ½ hour or more. Drain. Mix salt and pepper with yogurt. Combine with cucumbers. The yogurt will get watery (the cucumbers release water) by the following day. It looks bad but still tastes good.
