Cucumber Salad

This salad is repeated on the menu several times a month in the summertime. This is super easy to make and has very few if any carbs. Serve this healthy salad to the whole family not just to those who are being careful with carbs.

Peel and slice six cucumbers then let them sit in a bowl of cold water while you put together the dressing.

Mix together in your salad bowl

1 cup sour cream

2 tsp. onion powder

2 Tbl. Dill weed

1tsp. Salt

Some people in the family like more dill weed. Let those favors come together for about 15 minutes then add the drained cucumbers. Mix it together and serve. Enjoy!

Snozzcumbers

My son Jacob, who is in fifth grade, brought this recipe home.  Their class has been reading the BFG.  He thought this recipe might  be low carb.  I think it is, maybe just leave out the gherkins.  I think they won't add too much in the carb department, and will add MUCH to the flavor so I will leave them in.

Snozzcumbers
6-8 Large cucumbers
4 cans of tuna fish
4-6 diced tomatoes
9-10 gherkins, finely chopped
9-10 Tablespoons mayonnaise
6-7 teaspoons poppy seeds
Salt and Pepper to taste

Peel, cut and hollow out the cucumbers.  Place in a container, standing on end, to drain juice.  Thoroughly drain the tuna fish and mix in the chopped tomatoes, gherkins, mayonnaise, and poppy seeds.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.  Using a teaspoon, fill cucumbers with the tuna fish mixture, packing it down.  Paint a little mayonnaise in the grooves on the outside of the cucumbers and carefully fill the grooves with poppy seeds.  Have fun with this one!
