This easy Creamy Cucumber Salad combines crisp cucumbers and sweet red onions with fresh sour cream, lemon, and dill sauce that will have you begging for more.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs cucumbers, 2 english cucumbers or 7-10 small ones
- 1/2 medium purple or yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 Tbsp fresh or frozen dill, chopped
- 3/4 cup sour cream, reduced fat is ok
- 1/2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice, from 1/2 small lemon
- 1 large or 2 small garlic cloves, pressed
- 1/2 tsp sea salt and pinch black pepper, or to taste
Instructions
-
In a small bowl, combine 3/4 cup sour cream, 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice, 2 pressed garlic cloves, 1 Tbsp dill, 1/2 tsp salt or to taste and a pinch of pepper. Stir and set aside while prepping salad.
-
Slice cucumbers into thin rounds or half rounds if using large cucumbers. Place in a large mixing bowl. Add thinly sliced onion. Just before serving stir sauce into the salad and mix to coat cucumbers. After adding sauce, the salad will stay fresh for about 2-3 hours if refrigerated.
Recipe Notes
*For best results, add the creamy sour cream dressing to the cucumber salad just before serving.
*Fresh lemon juice works best.
*I've tested plain Greek yogurt and it works (although not quite as good), just omit lemon juice if using.
