Creamed Cucumbers

Description: This is my mother's recipe and it is wonderful. I use fresh cucumbers from the garden, but it also works well with store bought cucumbers. Tastes best if left overnight to marry.

Ingredients:

• 6 cucumbers, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 sweet onion, sliced thin and separate into rings
• 1 cup plain yogurt (or sour cream)
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, minced
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• fresh ground pepper

Steps:

1. Peel and thinly slice the cucumbers, then place in large bowl.
2. Add salt and toss to cover all cucumber slices.
3. Let stand for about 1 hour.
4. Drain off all water in a colander.
5. In a small bowl, add the yogurt, lemon juice, dill and pepper and stir until well mixed.
6. Add the olive oil and stir vigorously until blended.
7. Place the drained cucumber slices in a salad bowl, pour the dressing over the top and toss gently.
8. Refrigerate for about 1 hour to allow the flavors to marry, then serve.
