CAULIFLOWER AND CUCUMBER SALAD WITH SOUR CREAM

Steps:

• Slice the first four ingredients as thinly as you can. Use a sharp knife.
• Combine the sliced vegetables and the salt. I usually put them all in a clean ice cream container (with a lid) and shake the dickens out of 'em. Then I put the container in the fridge for a couple of hours.
• Remove the container from the fridge and drain off any liquid that has accumulated.
• In another bowl, combine the last three ingredients. Then stir this mixture through the vegetables.
• Put the lid back on the container and give everything some more good shakes to combine.
• You can serve immediately, but this recipe keeps well for several days, and usually tastes better the second day onwards.

CREAMY CUCUMBER SALAD

Steps:

• Mix the cucumbers, red onions, and 1 1/2 tablespoons of salt in a bowl. Pour them into a colander and suspend it over a bowl. Wrap the bowl and colander with plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator to drain for at least 4 hours or overnight. Discard the liquid that collects in the bowl.
• Pour the yogurt into a sieve lined with a paper towel and suspend it over another bowl. Wrap the bowl and sieve in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Discard the liquid that collects in the second bowl.
• When the cucumbers are ready, roll them up in paper towels or a kitchen towel and press the towel lightly to remove most of the liquid. Place the cucumbers and yogurt in a large bowl with the sour cream, vinegar, dill, 2 teaspoons salt, and the pepper. Toss well and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and serve chilled.

Steps:

• Put a large colander in a large bowl. Add the cucumbers and onions to the colander, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon salt and toss until the salt is evenly distributed. Let stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour and up to 2 hours.
• Transfer the cucumbers and onions from the colander to a paper towel-lined baking sheet and pat them dry with another layer of paper towels.
• Whisk together the sour cream, dill, vinegar and a few cracks of black pepper in a medium bowl. Add the cucumbers and onions and toss until coated.
• To make ahead: Salt and pat dry the cucumbers and onions as above, then keep separate from the dressing until ready to serve.
