A refreshing salad that's quick and easy to make. It's less tart than plain vinegared cukes.

    Make   -   (1-1/4 hr - 20 min work)
  1. Slice CUCUMBERS thin. If they are large, cut in half lengthwise before slicing. Drain very well and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Snip CHIVES (or Scallions) fine. Snip DILL small. Mix together all Dressing items including Horseradish if used.
  3. Stir in Cucumbers and let stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate.
  4. Serve chilled.
NOTES:
  1. Cucumbers:   If possible use Persian, Japanese or similar cucumbers that don't need peeling or seeding. If all you have is the standard green blimps, you'll need a little more weight because you'll have to peel and seed them. For details see our Cucumbers page.
  2. Chives:   Since I almost never have chives on hand, and always have scallions, I use scallion greens.
  3. Horseradish:   This should be fresh grated if at all possible. For details see our Horseradish & Sauces page.
  4. U.S. measure: t=teaspoon, T=Tablespoon, c=cup, qt=quart, oz=ounce, #=pound, cl=clove, in=inch
