I love cucumbers and dill together. When I was going through my recipes I found that I have 3 different ones that I really love, hence the long title:)
The first recipe is from Gourmet, the rest are made up. I know all of them are basic and easy, but that's exactly what I love about them. They are so versatile, you can serve the sauce with vegetables such as carrots or zucchini, you can accompany the one with mustard with fish or chicken, and eat the other one all by itself:)
Don't forget to use fresh dill and enjoy them all...
