Creamy Cucumber Salad

Creamy Cucumber SaladA creamy cucumber salad made from fresh sliced cucumbers and topped with a sour cream and mayonnaise dressing. A hint of lemon juice and dill complement the flavors of the cucumbers.

This crisp summer salad is light and refreshing and a nice side dish to a breakfast casserole for brunch.

This vegetable recipe is also a good choice to take with to a summer picnic or potluck. Make this cucumber salad recipe at least two to three hours ahead to allow the flavors to properly develop. It is best if it is made ahead the day before you will be serving it.

Creamy Cucumber Salad Recipe

Prep Time:  20 minutes

Make this recipe at least 2-3 hours ahead, but preferably a day ahead.

Ingredient List:


3 medium to large cucumbers
1 small Vidalia onion (or mild sweet onion)
1/2 cup sour cream
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon finely ground sea salt (or table salt)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried dill

Kitchen Equipment Needed

Large Mixing Bowl
Medium Mixing Bowl

Instructions:

Step 1: Wash cucumbers and peel the outside skins. Cut into slices that are 1/8" to 3/16" thick. Place in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2:  Cut the onion if half and slice into thin slices that can be easily eaten. Leaving the slices as rings is okay, but is harder and a little messier to eat.

Step 3:  In a separate mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, sugar, salt, pepper and dill until smooth and well mixed.

Step 4:  Pour over the cucumbers and toss until completely coated.

Step 5:  Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2-3 hours before serving. This will taste better if you allow the cucumber salad to keep overnight in the refrigerator.

Serves 6.
