Sometimes, I will make a basic Pasta Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette or a traditional Quick and Easy Potato Salad. Last night, we tossed a large Pork Butt into our smoker to enjoy for dinner and lunches the next few days. Since a salad goes perfect with pulled pork sandwiches and I had some cucumbers in the fridge, I decided to make a Creamy Dill Cucumber Salad.

While I was growing up, family picnics were frequent. I recall one of my great aunts making this salad for most every family picnic. It’s such a simple salad but filled with great dill flavor. Perfect for summer.
