Creamy Cucumber Salad Recipe

Step 1: Prepare the Cucumbers

  1. Wash cucumbers well.
  2. Slice thinly.
  3. (Optional but recommended) Lightly salt the slices and let sit 10 minutes, then drain excess liquid.
    👉 This keeps the salad thick and creamy.

Step 2: Make the Creamy Dressing

  1. In a bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice (or vinegar), sugar, salt, and pepper.
  2. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Combine

  • Add cucumbers (and onion, if using) to the dressing.
  • Toss gently until everything is evenly coated.

Step 4: Chill & Serve

  • Refrigerate for 15–30 minutes for best flavor.
  • Serve cold.
