Cucumber Dill Salad Is Good A Week In the Fridge
Cucumber dill salad is a fast side dish that stays good in the refrigerator for a week.
Arguably, it gets better and more pickled the longer it sits - if you can wait that long to eat it.
Variations on Cold Cucumber Dill Salad
Some days I peel the cucumber and some days I don't. Mostly I don't. Your choice. Here's some other ideas:
- Try different vinegars: white wine, champagne, red wine, etc. I stay away from balsamic vinegar because it changes the color too much.
- Add some fragrant spices like chili powder, curry powder, old bay seasoning, etc...
- Add favorite fresh or dried herbs like Italian seasoning, mint, basil, sage, or thyme.
- Use red onions, yellow onions, sweet onions, or shallots or just leave out all the onions.
