Cucumbers & Sour Cream

At this time of the year we're seeing a lot of cucmbers and onions. This is one of my favorite refreshing recipes. I like to use balsamic vinegar because of it's inherent sweetness, though it does discolor the dish a little, the flavor's worth it. Use your choice of cucumbeers, I like the pickles, they're lighter and sweeter, some will prefer the 'burpless' variety. Whichever you choose, enjoy!
