This creamy cucumber salad is a refreshing and tangy side dish made with thinly sliced English cucumbers coated in a creamy mixture of sour cream, dill, white vinegar, and seasonings. It’s easy to prepare, perfect for a light snack or to accompany a meal, and served chilled for maximum crispness and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Salad

  • 2 English cucumbers
  • ½ Red onion (optional)

Dressing

  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp dill
  • 2 tbsp white vinegar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cucumbers: Peel the English cucumbers and slice them thinly to ensure the salad has a crisp and delicate texture.
  2. Mix Dressing: In a separate small bowl, combine the sour cream, chopped dill, white vinegar, salt, garlic powder, and sugar. Stir everything together until the dressing is smooth and well blended.
  3. Combine Salad: Place the sliced cucumbers (and optionally the thinly sliced red onion) into a large bowl. Pour the prepared dressing over the cucumbers and toss gently until all slices are evenly coated with the creamy dressing.
  4. Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour before serving. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and the cucumbers to become nicely chilled and crisp.
  5. Serve: Serve the creamy cucumber salad cold as a refreshing side dish or light snack.

Notes

  • Peeling the cucumbers is optional depending on your texture preference.
  • Red onion adds a slight sharpness but can be omitted for a milder flavor.
  • Adjust vinegar and sugar to taste for preferred tanginess and sweetness.
  • This salad is best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
