Cloud Nine

There are only thirteen days left to enjoy summer! If you’re planning one last barbecue or picnic, here’s the perfect side dish to accompany bratwurst, pulled pork or a sizzling steak. Even with half a teaspoon of sugar, it’s a lot lower in carbs than potato or macaroni salad.

Creamy Cucumber Salad

2 long English cucumbers

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream)

3 tablespoons mayonnaise

1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped

3 tablespoons vinegar

1/2 teaspoon sugar

salt to taste

1/3 cup sliced white or yellow onion

Peel the cucumbers and cut in half lengthwise. Scrape out the seeds with a spoon and cut into 1/2″ slices. Combine remaining ingredients and toss with cucumbers. Refrigerate at least an hour before serving.
