I'm slowly getting better at the styling. And yes, this is a super salad for summer - but it's really good in winter, too, with hearty dishes.

For the most part I use the tiny Indian cucumber and mix it with garlic vinegar sauce. I am glad to discover your dill flavored cucumber salad. I use dill a lot in making pickles but not so much in salad so this dish will be a great way for me to explore dill.
