Description
Creamy Cucumber Salad is a refreshing and tangy side dish perfect for summer meals, picnics, or barbecues. Thinly sliced cucumbers and onions are tossed in a smooth, slightly sweet dressing made with sour cream, vinegar, and fresh dill. It’s light, crisp, and comes together in just minutes with minimal ingredients.
Ingredients
2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
Instructions
Place the cucumber and red onion slices in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together sour cream, vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, and dill until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the cucumbers and onions. Toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
Stir again before serving and adjust seasoning if needed.
Notes
English cucumbers or garden cucumbers with seeds removed work best. For extra crunch, sprinkle with a few tablespoons of sliced radishes or diced bell pepper. You can substitute Greek yogurt for a lighter option, though it will slightly change the flavor. This salad is best served chilled and eaten the same day for optimal texture.
