Marinated Cucumber Salad

A nice fresh summer salad pairs great with chicken and lamb.  Light and refreshing with a tangy sweet finish it is the perfect side for a hot summer day.

Marinated Cucumber Salad

1 English cucumber, peeled and sliced thin
1/2 sweet onion (ie. Maui), sliced thin
1/4 cup sour cream (low-fat will work with this recipe)
3 TBSP champagne vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
1/2-3/4 tsp sugar

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and let macerate in refrigerator 6-8 hours prior to serving or overnight.  Serve cold.

*To change it up a bit you could try adding 1 TBSP finely chopped fresh dill or fresh mint
