Description
This Creamy Cucumber Salad is a light, refreshing side dish made with thinly sliced cucumbers, red onion, and a creamy, tangy dressing. It’s perfect for potlucks, BBQs, or a quick summer side.
Ingredients
- 2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp white vinegar
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh dill, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the thinly sliced cucumbers and red onion.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Pour the dressing over the cucumbers and onions, then toss to coat evenly.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
- Garnish with chopped fresh dill before serving, if desired.
Notes
- For best results, use seedless cucumbers or remove seeds before slicing.
- Letting the salad chill helps mellow the onions and blend the flavors.
- Add more or less vinegar and sugar to taste.
