March 3, 2017 by Angela LeMoine 21 Comments

Dill & Garlic Marinated Cucumber Salad. This is such a refreshing dish. The perfect balance of sweet and tart, similar to a quick overnight pickle, this cucumber salad is a perfect side dish- especially as the weather warms!

Happy Friday all!!! I am so excited to share this post with you today!  This is a Freaky Friday Recipe Swap that I did with some of my blogger friends. We all were assigned a blog to cook/bake from and today we are ALL sharing our posts, and who we had! It’s been TOP SECRET and now I finally get to spill the beans and share this AMAZING Dill & Garlic Cucumber Salad recipe from my friend over at Aunt Bees Recipes with all of you.

I absolutely LOVE Aunt Bees Recipes and so enjoyed browsing through her site to pick a recipe to make and share with all of you. She has such a great variety of recipes, some that caught my eye were Preachers Mexican Macaroni Salad, Cookie Butter Cheesecake and her Greek Chicken & Vegetables. I know maybe you’re think, hmmmm Ang, isn’t this a winter edition? I know, I know this cucumber salad isn’t exactly a winter dish but heres the thing, NJ has had some weird warm days and that has me craving and looking forward to bright dishes like this one! I am so glad to have chosen it because it is DELICIOUS!!! You can find Aunt Bees original post for this Dill & Garlic Marinated Cucumber Salad HERE.

This is such an easy dish to throw together and reminds me of an overnight quick pickle. The balance of sweet and tart is spot on. The garlic and dill, to me, is a perfect flavor combination. It all meshes overnight and the result is a refreshing and flavor packed salad!

  • ½ cup white vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp canola or vegetable oil
  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh dill
  • 1 Tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp salt

  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
Instructions
  1. Whisk sugar and very hot water in a bowl until sugar is dissolved.
  2. Add oil, vinegar and seasonings and whisk again.
  3. Add the sliced cucumbers and red onion and stir to coat. Refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to marry. Serve the next day.

    Such a lovely, refreshing summer salad! It reminds me of a salad my late Mom used to make, but with a bit more ‘kick’. I can’t wait to give it a try. Pinned. I’d love for you to share this at my new-look Hearth and Soul Link Party live on my blog now if you have time, Angela.
