Learn how to make delicious Creamy Cucumber Salad. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 cups of thinly sliced cucumbers
  • 1/2 cup of sour cream
  • 1/4 cup of mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon of fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon of sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced

If you prefer a lighter version, you can substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream. For a bit of crunch, consider adding some sliced radishes or a handful of toasted almonds.

Instructions

  1. Start by slicing the cucumbers and red onion as thinly as possible. Mama Lou always said that the thinner the slice, the better they absorb the flavors.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, chopped dill, sugar, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
  3. Add the sliced cucumbers and red onion to the bowl. Toss gently to ensure each slice is coated with the creamy dressing. Take your time with this step; it’s all about infusing love into the dish, just as Mama Lou taught me.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
  5. Before serving, give it one last gentle toss, and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
