It’s like Fire & Ice w/o the Fire!!! I love it cause I can’t eat tomatoes!! I am off to make this. Thanks & big southern hugs!!

This recipe is what my late husband loved only leave off the garlic and add lots of black pepper. During the summer months would have to make both this and my grandmothers recipe for Cucumber Onion Salad

5 or 6 small pickling cucumbers sliced and peeled, vidalia onion sliced. Put both in bowl filled with cold water and salt added making a strong salt solution. Let sit about 30 minutes. While this is soaking combine 1/2 cup (or more if you like) sour cream, 1/4 cup vinegar and 1 rounded Tablespoon sugar. Rinse and drain cucumbers and onions. Put dressing over mixing well to cover. Add black pepper to taste. Chill to enhance flavors.
