Cucumber Salad

shared by Patty H.
(You have to like cucumbers and dill, which I definitely do, in order to appreciate this simple, summer recipe. But if you do, I hope you enjoy this version.)
Ingredients:
2 cucumbers, peeled, quartered lengthwise, then sliced
Plain yogurt, about 1 cup
1 teaspoon dried dill, or a couple of teaspoons of fresh dill
Sprinkling of salt and pepper

Directions:
1.First taste the cucumbers to make sure that they are not bitter. Depending on the variety of cucumber you are using, and many other factors, you may find a cucumber that is distinctly bitter in taste. If this happens, soak the cucumber slices in salted water for half an hour, or longer, until the bitterness is reduced, then rinse and drain before using.
2.To make the salad, simply gently mix the ingredients together.
3.Salt and pepper to taste.

Serves 4.
