Helpful Tips

• Use a mandoline to cut your cucumbers. It quickly cuts my cucumbers evenly and with exact thickness. I suggest: Mueller Austria Premium Quality V-Pro Multi Blade Adjustable Mandoline Cheese/Vegetable Slicer, Cutter, Shredder with Precise Maximum Adjustability if you do not have one.
• You can use dry garlic and dill herbs. In fact, my grandmother sometimes made it  with dried herbs when the dill wasn't pretty. The dried dill is good if you don't like a real strong dill flavor.
• You can serve it immediately, but I like it to allow the flavors to build by leaving it in the fridge for an hour or more before serving. However, this cucumber salad can get a bit watery if you leave it overnight. It is best served the day of making it.
• If you are trying to go low carb, you can omit the sugar or use a sugar substitute.

A Family Recipe 

My Grandma Kriz would make this Creamy Dill Cucumber Salad with mayonnaise her summer meals when I came to visit.  

My uncle grew cucumbers and dill in his backyard garden and would bring them over freshly picked for my grandmother.

The cucumbers had that summery garden smell and his dill was so flavorful and tasty.

My grandmother would thinly slice the fresh cucumbers, chop up the dill, add her other ingredients, and in just a few minutes, she made this amazing dill cucumber salad.

I couldn't wait for dinner time to eat it. It became a favorite side dish to me growing up and now has become a cherished side dish to my children and husband.
