Cumcumbers Hold the Cool of Summer


It is summer here at the home front... The plants in the garden are loving it and rewarding our mulching, weeding, rotortilling, and watering with healthy fruit laden branches and vines.
Tomatoes? I can't get enough of them. Lettuce? Daily basis of sumptuous salads. But Cumcumbers? A few of them are great, a few more are okay, and then.... even the neighbors lock the doors when they see you coming with a bag full!
However, before you get to the overload stage. Sit down with a large glass of iced water and snack on this Dill Dip for vegetables.

1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonaise
1 Tablespoon finely chopped green onion
2 teaspoons parsely leaves
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
1 teaspoon seasoned salt

Combine, Cover and Chill ingredients. Serve with a tray of cumcumbers, celery, carrots and radishes. This dip makes about 1 1/2 cups

For a variety, cut the peeled cumcumbers into strips and scoop out the seeds. Discard seeds. Then finely chop the cumcumber. Place on a paper towel to absorb liquid. After sitting for 5 minutes, add to the dip itself. This adds crunch. Use the dip with crackers, as it will not stay on carrot or celery sticks.
