Fresh Dill Cucumber Salad


For most of 2020 I attempted to grow herbs in my kitchen windowsill.  To say there were issues would be an understatement.  I replaced plant after plant.  Finally in September, I found the Aero Garden while beginning my Christmas shopping online.   
GAME CHANGER!!!

I now have fresh herbs on my counter top and I love it!  You'll notice that the dill (front right) and the mint (front left) are growing like mad.  There are two types of Basil, as well as Parsley and Thyme.  It's a pretty cool contraption.  You should check it out.

We had an over-abundance of cucumbers last summer and we ate them in every imaginable way.  This recipe was one of our favorites.

2 medium cucumbers sliced thinly (peeled or unpeeled)
1 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup fresh dill 
Fresh cracked black pepper

Place the sliced cucumbers in a colander 
Sprinkle them with the Kosher salt and allow them to sit on a plate for 15 minutes.

In a serving bowl, combine the rice wine vinegar and sugar.  Stir to dissolve the sugar.
Chop the dill, removing the stems.

Rinse the cucumbers and add them to the serving bowl.  
Season with salt and pepper and stir in the chopped dill.
Refrigerate for one hour before serving.
