I really want to start a garden – a city garden I guess or one of those cool wall hanging gardens. Thinking about all the great things I would grow in said garden, I began to think about English cucumbers and was inspired to create this salad. It is simple and refreshing and combines too of my favorite things – cucumber and dill. It’s perfect as a side dish and works well with almost anything.
