Made this tonight, starting with a recipe in a Jewish cookbook and then adapting it a bit.

Delicious, easy-to-make cold salad, good with sandwiches, as a side dish, or even as a whole dinner (double-servings). Recipes makes enough for 3.

Sweet Onion & Cucumber Salad

Ingredients

2 cucumbers
1 large sweet onion

3 tbsp. (40 mL) water
2-3 tbsp. (40 mL) minced fresh dill -or- 1 tbsp. (15 mL) dried dill
3 tbsp. (40 mL) sugar
handful raisins

Directions

1. Slice cucumbers thin. No need to peel.
2. Slice onion thin. (Yes, peel.)
3. Mixed cucumbers in onions in a bowl. Toss in some salt, to taste, then leave bowl for 10 minutes. (Salt brings out the juiciness.)
