Buttermilk Cucumber Salad

 

 

 

 

Another refreshing cucumber salad recipe for you.  It goes together quickly and easily.  If you have picky

 

eaters, don't tell them it contains yogurt and buttermilk.  I like using the small cucumbers because they

 

are tender.

 

 

Ingredients

•  3 small cucumbers, thinly sliced*

•  1 small onion, skin removed and thinly sliced

•  Sea salt

•  Black pepper

•  ¼ cup whole Greek yogurt

•  ¼ cup buttermilk

•  1 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped

Instructions

1.  Place the cucumber and onion in a small bowl;sprinkle

 

 

      with ½ teasponn sea salt and toss; let sit in bowl for 5 minutes.

      Transfer to a colander and let drain for 45 minutes.

2.  In the meantime, in a medium bowl stir together the yogurt

 

 

      and buttermilk.  

3.  Drain the cucumber mixture (do not rinse) and add to the           

 

 

      yogurt mixture; stir, then add salt and pepper to taste. 

                

      Chill until needed.

*Pull a fork along length of cucumber before slicing; makes an 

     

   interesting design.

Recipes are like stories; they can change from person to person.  Everyone has their idea of how a recipe should be, even

 

 

though it may have changed from the original.  We will never know the true author of the original recipe, regardless of

 

 

what some may say.  That's why I go back and look through the oldest cookbooks that I can find.  Sometimes it's not the

 

 

recipe in the books that I find, but the tiny pieces of handwritten recipes and newspaper articles that are stuck within

 

 

the pages.  That's where the real story is, finding those simple Southern recipes.      -Mac
