This Creamy Cucumber Salad Recipe is a refreshing, tangy, and cool side dish made with crisp cucumbers, creamy dressing, and fresh dill. Ideal for summer BBQs, potlucks, or as a light snack, it balances flavor and texture beautifully. Serve chilled for best results.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 3–4 large cucumbers, thinly sliced

  • ½ small red onion, thinly sliced (optional)

  • 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar or lemon juice

  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)

  • 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Peel cucumbers if desired, then slice thinly and place in a colander. Sprinkle with a little salt and let drain for 20–30 minutes.

  2. Pat cucumbers dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

  3. In a large bowl, mix sour cream (or Greek yogurt), vinegar/lemon juice, dill, sugar (if using), salt, and pepper.

  4. Add the cucumbers (and red onion, if using) into the dressing and toss to coat evenly.

  5. Chill in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours before serving for best flavor.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, add sliced radishes or celery.

  • Make ahead and chill for deeper flavor.

 

  • Substitute Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
