Cucumber Salad with Sour Cream & Chives

This is my dad’s favorite summer side dish. My summer dinner memories are studded with it- my mom giving me the kitchen shears and asking me to run outside, my bare feet burning on the hot walkway to the cool grass, to pick chives.

Cookie Crumble and Fruit Parfait
