I KNOW I have been offering you a lot of salads, but tis the season!! This one is particularly good with grilled salmon and couscous to soak up the extra dressing. "The gentle brininess of the pickle juice, the creaminess of the mayonnaise, and the licorice-like hint of fresh dill let a Walla Walla sweet shine like a jewel."
(serves 4)
1 large English cucumber, about 1 lb.
1/2 cup Walla Walla sweet onion
Kosher* salt
1/4 cup dill pickle juice
2 T. mayonnaise
1-2 T. chopped fresh dill, plus a sprig for garnish
Peel the cucumber, and slice it very thin (a mandoline is great for this). Peel all the tough outer layers of the onion, and cut off the top and bottom. Slice the onion very thin. Layer the cucumber and onion in a bowl, sprinkling the layers with a little bit of salt (about a t. total). Combine with the rest of the ingredients. Let it sit for a half hour, if you have time. Serve garnished with a sprig of dill, if you like.
"Life doesn't get better by wishing and hoping things will change. Life doesn't get better by bitching to others and getting love and sympathy form them. Life gets better by you deciding to show up for it."
Love,
