The first Danish dish is Danish Cucumber in Sour Cream Salad. This is a very simple salad that Joan and Paul made this up in a jiffy.

As the name suggests, this salad is cooling and creamy.

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 2 drops Tabasco sauce
• 2 tablespoons chives or green onion, chopped

• 1 dash pepper

Instructions

• Sprinkle the cucumber with salt. Let stand 30 minutes. Drain thoroughly. Dry on paper towel.
• Combine sour cream, vinegar, Tabasco, chives or green onion, fresh dill and pepper.

• Pour over cucumber. Chill well before using. Garnish with fresh dill.
