Cucumber Salad by Suzie

We did another eastern dinner last weekend as everyone loves it so much. I made a Date Chutney and a different Cucumber Salad this time and also whipped up some pork curry to go with the Chicken Tikka. I will make some notes on the pork curry soon - it isn't really a recipe. A friend of mine used to call this method "Dump and Hope" and with curries - that is so easy! Here is the Cucumber Salad. This goes with everything - from Curries to Hamburgers!

• 2 - 3 cucumbers, peeled, seeded and thinly sliced
• 1 small white onion, sliced
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup white wine vinegar
• 1/2 cup water
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 T. dried dill

1. Toss together the cucumbers and onion in a colander. Sprinkle with salt and set aside to drain.
2. Combine the vinegar, water and sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat.
3. Bring to a boil and pour over the drained cucumbers and onions.
4. Stir in the dill, cover and refrigerate until cold.
5. You can serve this a room temperature but allow the cucumbers to marinate at least 1 hour.
