AUBURN UNIVERSITY, Ala. – Beat the dog days of summer this Friday with Live Well Alabama’s Cool Cucumber Salad. It’s a great way to eat something refreshing all while using up those cucumbers from the garden.
“Dill adds a bright burst of flavor to everything from fish to potato salad. If using fresh dill, use a bit more than if using dried. One teaspoon of dried dill can be replaced with about 1 tablespoon of fresh dill, or more to taste.”
-Katie Funderburk, Alabama Extension nutrition specialist and registered dietitian
