Easy Creamy Cucumber Salad

Here’s an Easy Creamy Cucumber Salad recipe that’s quick, refreshing, and perfect for any occasion!

Ingredients:

• 2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar (or lemon juice)
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cucumbers:
   • Slice the cucumbers thinly using a knife or mandoline. Place the slices in a large bowl, sprinkle with a little salt, and let them sit for about 10 minutes. This helps to draw out excess moisture.
   • After 10 minutes, drain the cucumbers and pat them dry with paper towels.
2. Make the Creamy Dressing:
   • In a separate small bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, white vinegar (or lemon juice), dill, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir well to create a creamy dressing.
3. Mix the Salad:
   • Add the sliced cucumbers and red onions to the dressing. Toss everything together until the cucumbers and onions are well coated with the creamy mixture.
4. Chill and Serve:
   • Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors blend.
   • Serve chilled as a side dish.

Variations:

• Greek Yogurt: Substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
• Herb Options: Add parsley, chives, or mint for extra freshness.

Enjoy your refreshing and easy Creamy Cucumber Salad! It pairs wonderfully with grilled meats or as a standalone side.
