Because it is Lent and we are suppose to be cutting back on our calorie and food intake, I am sharing a simple and low calorie recipe today!
Cucumber-Dill Salad
Serves 4
1 seedless European cucumber, or 2 American cucumbers
3 tablespoons cider or white vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 small red onion, sliced and broken into rings
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
Wash the cucumber(s) and partially remove the peel in lengthwise strips using a vegetable peeler or fork and leaving a little skin between each strip. Thinly slice the cucumber widthwise. Place the vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper in a bowl and whisk until the sugar is dissolved. Add the cucumber, onion, and dill, and toss well. The salad can be served at once, but it will improve in flavor if you let the ingredients marinate for 5 minutes.

Tip of the day: If you have a child that loves cucumbers like mine, use seedless cucumbers for this recipe....you will thank me later.
