The Love Child of Salad and Potato Chips

Yesterday I made a ridiculously simple cucumber salad. It was so delicious, yet weirdly, reminded me of eating flavored potato chips. So for anyone who would really rather be eating potato chips, this one is for you:

Cucumber, Mustard, and Dill Salad

Gourmet  | October 2004

ingredients

2 teaspoons white-wine vinegar

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste

2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

preparation

Whisk together vinegar, mustard, salt, and sugar in a bowl, then add oil in a slow stream, whisking.

Cut cucumber into small rounds, first removing all or part of the peel if desired.

Add cucumber and dill to vinaigrette, tossing to coat.
