Creamy Cucumber Salad
Creamy cucumber salad is a simple yet flavorful dish that combines fresh cucumbers with a creamy, tangy dressing. It can be easily customized with different ingredients and variations to suit various tastes and dietary needs.
Ingredients
- 3 cups of thinly sliced cucumbers
- 1 cup of thinly sliced red onion
- 1/2 cup of sour cream
- 1 tablespoon of white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons of freshly minced dill
- 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
Instructions
- Thinly slice the onion using a sharp knife or mandoline. Wash the cucumbers, slice them thinly as well, and then pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, white vinegar, minced fresh dill, granulated sugar, salt, and garlic powder. Stir until everything is well mixed.
