Blue Cucumber Salad

By: madermouse 
"Move over, plain jane cucumber salad! This salad makes an entrance with unusual chunks of blue cheese tossed in for a creamy burst of flavor. If blue cheese is too strong for you, try a mild feta and a squirt of lemon! When testing this recipe, both light and regular sour cream held up well, while the fat free version tended to water out quickly."

Original Recipe Yield 4 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 2 large cucumbers, peeled and sliced in half lengthwise
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup white onion, minced
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 pinch white pepper, or to taste
  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese

Directions

  1. With a spoon, scoop out the seeds from the cucumber halves. Slice the cucumbers into thick half moons, and place the slices on a plate on paper towels. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of salt over the cucumber slices, and set aside.
  2. Place the onion, sour cream, white wine vinegar, dill, sugar, and white pepper in a bowl, and mix until well combined. Lightly stir in the blue cheese. Pat the cucumber slices dry with paper towels, and lightly mix them into the salad. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving; season to taste with salt just before serving.
