Ingredients
    Salad
    1 cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced (read *NOTE)
    3 lemon cucumbers, thinly sliced
    1 cup green grape, cut in half
    1 cup red seedless grapes, cut in half
    2 stalks organic celery & leaves, chopped
    Dressing
    1/4 cup sour cream (optional) or 1/4 cup plain yogurt (optional)
    2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
    1 teaspoon dried dill or 1 tablespoon fresh dill
    2 teaspoons fresh chives, minced
    1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
    1 teaspoon honey, softened or 1 teaspoon raw sugar
    fresh ground black pepper
Preparation
    *NOTE: If using cucumbers from the garden, and/or organic cucumbers, it is not necessary to peel them unless you wish. Store bought cucumbers (especially conventional produce) need to be peeled to remove the wax.
    In a large salad bowl, combine the cucumbers, grapes and celery.
    In a small non-reactive bowl combine the dressing. Pour over the cucumber mixture and toss gently.
    Season with freshly ground black pepper.
    Cover and chill until ready to serve.
