Cucumber Dill Sauce/Salad
by Melinda Lee

Perfect alongside cold poached salmon or simply eat it as though it were a salad. You can vary the consistency by adjusting the size of the cucumber pieces (large grate is recommended) and the amount of sour cream added. Use a good brand of sour cream, so that the sauce will have a nice body, and not be runny.

Ingredients

Directions

Peel cucumbers and cut each in half, lengthwise.

With the tip of a teaspoon, scrape the seeds from the center area of each halved cucumber.

Grate (large coarse grate is better) the halved and seeded cucumbers, and then squeeze the grated cucumbers by handfuls to remove as much liquid as possible. Blot the squeezed grated cucumbers with paper towels (all of this liquid-removal prevents a runny sauce, and leaves a nice crunchy texture).

Place the cucumbers in a mixing bowl and blend in all remaining ingredients.

Allow the mixture to stand for at least 10 minutes to develop flavors, stir again, and taste to correct seasonings if necessary.

This one is garlicy! Refrigerate until serving time.
