My mom added dill and onion. Yum.

I am weeks and weeks away from cukes from my garden-sigh.

I make a similar salad that my gram passed on to us with sour cream as the dressing base.

One tip: Slice the cucs as thin as possible. As you slice occassionally sprinkle salt over them. Cover the bowl and let it set for at least an hour.

The salting will pull the juice out of the cus which you can then drain off before stirring your dressing ingredients. This will make for a thicker dressing – and don’t worry – it doesn’t make the salad saltier at all!

Yum. I never thought to add ranch. Gonna try that, for sure.

My recipe calls for equal parts (1/2 cup) of sugar, water and vinegar. It keeps a long time and you can add some of the sliced cucumbers or other veggies that are in it to a toss salad.

I make this too only a little different, I definately put onion in it and I use mayo instead of ranch dressing, apple cider vinegar instead of white and this is one of my fav ways to eat cucumbers too!!!
