Anja's Cucumber Salad

Generally speaking, I'm not a fan of cucumbers, and I find most cucumber salads are much too sweet, but my friend Anja served this straight up savory cucumber salad recently and I had to get the recipe.  When I made a double batch the following day, my husband said he could eat the entire batch himself.  Will definitely be making this one again and again.   

To begin, slice cucumbers very thinly.  I like to use a mandoline to get perfectly uniform slices.  Feel free to peel the skins off if you like, but I like the way they look when they're partially peeled (as shown above).    

By the way, this is my new favorite peeler.  It never jams or gets clogged - the peels fly right out of it like they're being ejected.  Work better than any other peeler I've ever used. 

Next, mix together the ingredients for a quick and creamy dressing.

That was easy - now pour it over the cucumbers and toss well.

Delish!
