Hedy's favorite cucumber salad and one she prepares often, it's particularly good with poached salmon, trout, pike, cod, almost any fish. Hedy says that cucumber salad is often paired with sausages and potato salad. That's quite traditional. Ingredients:
1 cup half-and-half |
1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt |
2 tablespoons dijon mustard |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1/4 cup moderately finely snipped fresh dill |
1 1/4 pounds kirby cucumbers, peeled and thinly sliced |
Directions:
1. Whisk the half-and-half, yogurt, mustard, salt, pepper, and dill in a large bowl until creamy. Taste for mustard and add a bit more, if needed; there should be a distinct mustard flavor, but take care not to add so much that you overpower the flavor of the cucumbers. Add the cucumbers to the bowl and toss well to mix. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving, or better yet, chill overnight.
