Annie's Creamy Cucumbers
"As a teenager, I worked in a boat club where they served these delicious cucumbers. A sweet old lady named Annie would prepare this daily, and I have fond memories of her. The members of the club loved this dish so I know that you will too. (Preparation time is very fast, but the numbers below include the refrigeration time.)"

Great salad. We skipped the salting part since we used a non bitter garden cucumber. -
LOVED IT! These were so good, and very refreshing with our Mexican dinner. I have to admit that I'm not a big cucumber fan, but I had no problem gobbing these up. Hubby, who is a cucumber lover, thought they were terrific too. I added a bit of pepper and garlic too. Edited to say that OF THE 350 RECIPES I REVIEWED IN 2008, THIS HAS GONE INTO MY TOP 20 FAVORITES COOKBOOK. -
Hello mums the word, both sets of my grandparents from Eastern Europe, made their cucumbers this way and I loved them! I wasn't sure I would ever again find any like them! I made them as a side for recipe #274288 and the creamy, cool, & refreshing taste of the cucmbers were just the right thing to make! The dill makes the dish!! :) Made for "I Recommend . . .A New Thread" from puppitypup's recommendation - thanks so much for sharing this recipe - it is definitely a keeper! Diane :) -
Very nice salad - I added a little sugar and it was even yummier
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>I have two teenage children and am very happily married. We live in Southern, Ontario. <br /><br />I live to cook and just love to putter around the kitchen. I enjoy reading all kinds of cookbooks which I borrow from the library or buy second hand. I really like Taste of Home magazine, because the recipes are from ordinary people and aren't too complicated. I also like to read community or church cookbooks because you know that the recipe must be special for someone to share it. <br /><br />I discovered RecipeZaar because it was mentioned by someone in a cooking magazine...now I am hooked. I think it is so helpful to read the reviews and suggestions from others who have tried recipes before me. <br /><br />I always thought of myself as a pretty good cook, but I am learning so much since I have joined RecipeZaar. I really appreciate the ideas and feed back that everyone provides.</p>
