Cucumber Salad

I wanted peanut noodles for dinner tonight, so then had to decide what to serve with them.  I chose cucumber salad and chicken Satay.  Since it was just Nancy and me for dinner, I made half recipes (except for the peanut noodles, figuring leftovers of them would be eaten up).

The cucumber salad recipe I used is from the Food Network http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ellie-krieger/cucumber-salad-recipe.html

INGREDIENTS

2 English cucumbers

1 small red onion

1 1/2 Tbsp salt

1 Tbsp + 1 tsp white wine or sherry vinegar

1 tsp sugar

2 tsp dill (2 Tbsp fresh)

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

Slice cucumbers lengthwise.  Remove seeds.  Thinly slice the cucumbers and onion.  Toss with salt and let sit 20 minutes in a colander.  Rinse well and drain.  Whisk together vinegar, sugar, and dill.  Add cucumbers and onion and mix together.
