One of my favorite summer veggies is cucumbers. I love them in salads or dipped in hummus, and they are super refreshing in a bottle of water! Jake and I planted an abundance of these in our garden, but unfortunately we have yet to find a single one growing in our garden! Bummer!

Then a great thing happened! No, nothing started to grow - but a teammate of mine at work walked into my classroom the other day and offered to share some cucumbers from her garden! (Thanks for sharing) I couldn't wait to get home and slice them up! As I was slicing, the distinctive smell made me think of a great cucumber salad that my grandmother used to make! I never really appreciated this salad until I entered my 20's!

I quickly warmed vinegar, water, and sugar in a pan. I poured it over the sliced cucumbers and red onion. Seasoned it with pepper, salt, and fresh dill! And chilled it for an hour! I can't get enough of this salad! Each bite makes me reflect on the great times I have spent with my grandma! She's a pretty special lady!
More cucumbers and memories please!
