Creamy Cucumber Salad
Yield: 12 servings
A classic Creamy Cucumber Salad recipe, with fresh cucumbers, onion, and dill. When summer cucumbers are plentiful, this is the salad you'll want to serve with EVERYTHING!
Ingredients
- 3 large English cucumbers, about 2 to 2½ pounds
- 1 small red onion
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup good quality mayonnaise (do not use "salad dressing" such as Miracle Whip)
- ⅓ cup sugar (add a bit more if desired)
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon Morton kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- ground black pepper, if desired
Instructions
- Slice cucumbers and onion thinly, and add them to a large bowl. I prefer the slices to be between 1/16" and 1/8" thick - a mandoline works great for this!
- In a small bowl, stir together sour cream, mayonnaise, sugar, white vinegar, salt, and dill. If desired, thin down the dressing with a little more vinegar, or some milk or cream. Pour dressing over over sliced cucumbers and onion, and fold to combine.
- Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours. Fold right before serving and sprinkle with black pepper if desired.
