DILLY CUCUMBER SALAD

Dilly Cucumber Salad image

Okay, I used to be a prep cook for the Fresh Market. Most things there aren't home-made, or made from scratch. However, the Dilly cucumber salad is! It is also one of the only things I liked that I used to make when I worked there. The Fresh Market uses a bottled vinegar and oil called "Fresh Expressions" if I remember...

Ingredients

FOR OIL VINEGAR DRESSING
1 1/2 c olive oil, extra virgin
1 Tbsp salt
1/2 Tbsp ground black pepper
4 clove garlic, pressed and chopped
1/2 pinch red pepper flakes (a little less than a pinch should do well.)
1 1/2 tsp dried basil leaves
3-4 Tbsp aged balsamic vinegar (i say 3-4 tablespoons, but really adjust to your taste.)
FOR SALAD
4 medium cucumbers
1 pt plum tomatoes
1/2 red onion, sliced
3 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped

Steps:

1. For oil and vinegar dressing: Mix all ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate over night.
2. For Salad: (Remember:Rinse and dry tomatoes and cucumbers.)
3. With a vegetable peeler peel off some of the peel on the cucumbers. (I left some of the peel on the cucumbers for visual effect.)
4. Remove ends of cucumbers and cut cucumbers in half length-wise.
5. With a metal spoon, remove the seeds from the cucumbers. (seeds in the salad are yucky!)
6. Slice cucumbers into 1/4 inch slices.
7. Mix slice cucumbers, red onions and red tomatoes together. Mix in the chopped dill.
8. Add your oil and vinegar dressing to the salad and toss. Chill before serving.
