Description

Creamy Cucumber Salad is a quick and easy side dish made with thinly sliced cucumbers, red onion, and a tangy, creamy dressing. It’s crisp, refreshing, and perfect for summer meals or a backyard BBQ spread.

Ingredients

  • 2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced (English or regular, peeled if preferred)

  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (for sweating the cucumbers)

For the dressing:

  • 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)

  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional, for extra creaminess)

  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar or apple cider vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon sugar (optional, for a slight sweet note)

  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Sweat the cucumbers (optional but recommended):
    Place cucumber slices in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 15–20 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Pat dry with paper towels.

  2. Make the dressing:
    In a medium bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayo (if using), vinegar, sugar, dill, salt, and pepper until smooth.

  3. Combine:
    Add the sliced cucumbers and red onion to the dressing. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.

  4. Chill and serve:
    Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld. Serve cold.

Notes

  • Want it lighter? Use all Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and mayo.

  • Add chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives for extra flavor.

  • Best served the day it’s made, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
