Cucumber Salad with Fresh Dill and Red Onion

By 15 Comments

Beginning in early spring, right up until the end of summer, people around us are working in their gardens. My neighbours to the right of us have remarkable patience when it comes to gardening. I swear she could charge people to come into her yard to see the various flowers she has. I am not the flowery type but I will admit, she makes gardening look simple! I prefer vegetable gardens and even though I have not done one the last two years, I still receive an abundance of food from other people’s gardens. Or sometimes just their regular produce from the fridge that they are not going to use up in time. My mother-in-law is famous for giving me leftovers that she is not going to use or cannot eat. Case in point: Cucumbers.

     Keep in mind, I don’t find cucumbers horrible. They are just boring. I am not one of those people who would cut up a cucumber as a snack. However, we do use them in other means such as pairing with cheese or mixing into a salad. When I was given more cucumbers I began to look around for something new to try. I came across a delicious recipe from Eat Yourself Skinny and knew I had to make it!

Cucumber Salad with Fresh Dill 2
I do not like dill pickles, dill potato chips. or dill flavoured anything. It is just one of those things I do not have an acquired taste for but I must admit, taking a bite of this salad was so refreshing. Using fresh dill is a different experience than processed dill foods so maybe, in the end, dill is not so bad!

  1. Just came across this a couple days ago. I didn't have all the ingredients in the recipe, so I subbed for the ones I did have - lime juice, yellow onion, and fresh parsley for the vinegar, red onion and fresh dill - man it was yummy!
    I am definitely going to try it with dill next time. (I can't do sugar, so I'll be sticking with the lime juice! :-) )

  6. This salad looks so refreshing, I really can't wait to make it the next time I head to the store to grab ingredients. I really want to start growing my own ingredients instead of buying them, but for now it has to do! Thanks so much for sharing, I love that you added dill - it always goes well with cucumbers!
