*Sweet & Sour Cucumbers*

This recipe reminds me of summertimeEven though it is not that time of year yet (I wish ... lake time please!) it still makes for a refreshing side for lunch or just something to snack on :-)

2 English hothouse cucumbers (1 1/2 pounds total), unpeeled, very thinly sliced
1 tablespoon coarse kosher salt
1/2 cup distilled white vinegar                                                             

1/4 cup finely chopped fresh dill
3 tablespoons sugar (or splenda)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


Place cucumber slices in colander. Sprinkle with salt; toss to coat. Let stand 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. 
Meanwhile, for dressing, stir vinegar, dill, sugar (or splenda), and pepper in large bowl until sugar is dissolved.
Drain cucumbers well; pat dry. Add cucumbers to dressing and stir to blend.
 Refrigerate at least 15 minutes and up to 2 hours; serve cold.

I packed mine for lunch with 1/2 a whole wheat pita filled with my Mediterranean Tuna Salad recipe (my all time fav).
