TOMATO AND CUCUMBER SALAD WITH SOUR CREAM DRESSING

This is the most typical summer salad and it accompanies most meals in summer. It consists of pieces of tomato, cucumbers and sometimes finelly chopped onions, and is spiced with a handful of chopped dill and scallions or chives. And sour cream dressing gives a deliciously tangy edge to it.

4 medium or small cucumbers

3 meaty tomatoes

150 ml sour cream (20-30% fat content)

5 scallions or around 15 chives

bunch of dill

sea salt flakes

freshly ground black pepper

Cut tomatoes into chunks, cut cucumbers in half, lenghtwise, each half cut in half, lenghtwise again, then slice them thinly crosswise. Mixed the vegetables and chopped dill and scalions together in the bowl. Season with salt and pepper, add sour cream and stir it through the salad. Serve with chunks of freshly baked baguette for mopping pale (tomato juices + sour cream) sauces at the end.
