Here is one of my favorite cucumber salads. Take a big spoonful of sour cream, add a little lemon juice and a little sugar. If you like them, add a little chopped green peppers and chopped onion. Add any herbs you like. Stir. Slice cucumbers very thinly and stir into the sour cream sauce and chill about an hour before serving. I have never made this salad the same way twice - sometimes I have more peppers and onion; sometimes I have none. The salad does get watery after a day or two so don't make more than you can eat in one or two meals.

I swear I just missed picking them for a day, but then again maybe the fact that the previous two days I was picking by flashlight because of working late means that's not the most successful way to go about it... And mine have big bad spines. I was going to try to pickle them the same as my actual cornichon-sized cornichon (i.e. just throw them in the fridge in some vinegar, garlic, thyme, black pepper) but sliced.

Sorry, I don't know a recipe, but my family used to make it and I loved it. Or maybe a Greek salad with cucumber, tomatoes, olives and feta cheese?Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08691765466320690473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30590907.post-75130987258490340662008-07-18T18:51:00.000-04:002008-07-18T18:51:00.000-04:00Bread and Butter pickles are usually made from sli...Bread and Butter pickles are usually made from slices.
