Polish Cucumber Salad

This simple yet delicious salad is a great as a side to almost any meal, due to its subtle flavour. I found it in a Polish cook book I bought from the Library, after searching for a great cucumber salad for a very long time. I made a double recipe for our Christmas day meal, and I could have easily made more! 

Ingredients:

2 medium cucumbers

½ cup sour cream

Juice of a ½ lemon

Salt & pepper

3 scallions, chopped finely

Directions:
1. Peel and thinly slice the cucumbers. 

2. Set them in a sieve, sprinkle them with salt, and leave them for a few minutes. Rinse them and pat dry with kitchen paper or a clean kitchen towel.

3. In a large bowl, whisk together the sour cream, lemon juice and chopped scallions.

4. Add the cucumbers to the sour cream mixture. Toss, and chill until ready to serve.

Serves 4-6 as a side.
