Creamy Cucumber Salad (Printer-Friendly Format)
A classic side dish with cucumbers, red onions, and fresh dill in a light, creamy dressing—just like Grandma used to make.
# Ingredients You'll Need:
01 -
3 cups thinly sliced cucumbers
02 -
1 cup thinly sliced red onion
03 -
1/2 cup sour cream
04 -
1 tablespoon white vinegar
05 -
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
06 -
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
07 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
08 -
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
Cut the onion into thin slices using a sharp knife or mandoline. Wash the cucumbers, then cut them into thin slices and pat them dry with paper towels to absorb excess moisture.
02 -
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, white vinegar, minced fresh dill, granulated sugar, salt, and garlic powder. Stir until combined.
03 -
Add the sliced cucumbers and red onion to the dressing and toss gently to coat.
04 -
Garnish with additional fresh dill and fresh black pepper as desired. Serve immediately or cover and chill before serving. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
# Additional Information:
01 -
This salad tastes best when made at least 1 hour in advance and refrigerated to let the flavors combine. For extended storage, slice and store vegetables separately, and toss with dressing just before serving.
