Both of these are cool, crisp, crunchy, fairly low carb, and husband approved. I also tend to have all the ingredients on hand, except maybe the cukes and apples. If you like cucumbers, you’ll love this one —
Dilled Cucumber Salad
Combine:
- 2 cucumbers – cut lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and cut in 1/4 chunks
- 2 ripe tomatoes, seeded and chopped
- 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
For the dressing, mix together:
- 1/4 C. cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon white sugar or Splenda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Toss and chill at least 15 minutes before serving (an hour is better). Feel free to add more and/or fresh dill to suit your taste. I love it, so I pour it on.
The next one takes a little more time because of the chopping. But it’s worth it! And when’s the last time you had —
Waldorf Salad
- 3 apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
- 1 C. thinly sliced celery
- 1/2 C. chopped walnuts
- 1/2 C. raisins (optional)
For the dressing —
- 1/2 C. mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon white sugar or Splenda
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Mix all together, chill, and enjoy.
Have a great holiday!
I’ve made that cucumber salad before and love it but I’d forgotten all about it. We have a garden full of cukes and now I can do something different with them. Morley and Heather thank you for the recipe reminder.
PS Come see us!! I’ve almost forgotten what you look like
