Cucumber, Sour Cream and Dill Salad
I love cucumbers! I grow them in my garden and every spring I get so excited when it's time to put the
little seeds in the ground. When I was growing up, we only ate them fresh or made pickles. Now, they can
be used to make appetizers, salad dressings and of course, salads. And boy have salads changed! This
is one of my favorites because it involves dill and sour cream , and I find it very refreshing, especially in
the summer.
