SWEET AND SOUR CUCUMBER DILL SALAD
I cut this from a U.S. magazine, but not sure which one as I've had it for quite some time. This summertime dish can be prepared and chilled two hours before serving. The recipe calls for English cucumbers but you can use regular ones if you can't find the English ones. You want a total of about 1 1/2 lbs. of cukes. Cooking time is chilling time.

SWEET AND SOUR DILLED CUCUMBER SALAD
This salad couldn't be easier. Simply slice the peeled cucumber as finely as you can and macerate it in sugar, vinegar, salt and chopped dill. This makes quite a lot of liquid as it sits in the refrigerator, but it's meant to.

THAI SWEET-AND-SOUR CUCUMBER SALAD
From Real Vegetarian Thai by Nancie McDermott. In the note it says that if you are using a nice, unwaxed cucumber to leave some of the skin on. (I never use the cilantro.) This goes well with Thai Shrimp With Coconut-Almond Rice, Recipe #287896.
