Cucumber Salad

Oh my gosh! This is just what I needed.  A crispy and delicious salad with a twist. Yum!  This is the time of year that I crave salads and this year is no exception.  The vegetables that are in this salad are all slightly sweet and the dressing is wonderful. 
Dill weed is starting to grow and it is perfect for this dressing. A little yogurt, vinegar, dill, salt, pepper, fresh dill, and the surprise, fennel seeds.  This is one of those salads that should be served with a great dinner, to good friends.

2 cups of Cabbage, thinly sliced and then chopped
1/2 of a large Sweet Onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 large Cucumber, peeled, halved and thinly sliced
1 teaspoon of Kosher Salt

Dressing
1/2 cup of Plain Yogurt, with the whey
2 Tablespoons of White Vinegar
1 teaspoon of Kosher Salt
Cracked Black Pepper
1 teaspoon of fresh Dill, finely chopped
1 teaspoon of Fennel Seeds.

Toss the vegetables and salt in a large bowl.  Add the salt now will allow for the flavors of the vegetables to combine, better.  Mix the ingredients for the dressing together and pour over the vegetables.  Toss and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. 

Enjoy!
