Creamy Cucumber Salad (sometimes called German Cucumber Salad) is so easy, creamy, and refreshing. The nostalgic flavors feature crisp summer cucumbers and onions coated with fresh dill and a sour cream dressing. It’s a must-have summer side dish!
INGREDIENTS
- 1 1/2 lbs cucumbers
- 1/2 medium purple or yellow onion
- 1 Tbsp fresh or frozen dill
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove
- 1/2 tsp sea salt and pinch of black pepper
DIRECTIONS
- In a small bowl, combine sour cream, lemon juice, garlic, dill, salt and pepper to taste. Stir and set aside while prepping salad.
- Peel (if necessary) and 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, pour the sauce over the cucumbers and onions, and mix to coat. After adding sauce, the salad will stay fresh for about 2-3 hours if refrigerated.
VARIATIONS
- Chives – add 1/3 cup chives or green onion instead of onion for a milder onion flavor.
- Mayo – lately we’ve been loving the addition of 1-2 Tbsp mayo to the dressing instead of lemon juice.
- Greek yogurt – I’ve tested plain Greek yogurt and it works (although not quite as good), just omit lemon juice if using.
