It started with a heatwave and it wasn’t the graceful kind where you sip iced tea while fanning yourself on the porch but instead it was the sweaty and cranky kind of summer day when you just want everyone to stay far away. The fridge was practically humming with desperation so I needed something cold and crunchy and creamy and easy to make.
That’s why I grabbed a couple of cucumbers both out of habit and a little bit out of hope because funny enough I almost didn’t even make this at all. I was just aiming for a quick snack yet somehow I stumbled into what became one of my all-time favorite summer sides and honestly go figure.

You know those dishes that only take about five minutes to make yet somehow make you feel like you’ve got your life together even when you’re still in pajama shorts at 3 p.m. and dinner is still a complete mystery.

Batch had way too much vinegar so my face did that scrunchy thing but when I made it again the second recipe it was magic since it turned out creamy and tangy and fresh and it basically tasted like a picnic in a bowl.

So if you’ve never tried cucumber salad before then you’re in for a chill surprise literally.

Ingredients :

• 2 large cucumbers sliced thin
• ½ small red onion optional, thinly sliced
• ½ cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice
• ½ teaspoon sugar optional
• Salt to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill or 1 teaspoon dried dill

How to Make Creamy Cucumber Salad

Step 1

The first thing you need to do is wash and slice the cucumbers. First, wash the cucumbers well. Using a knife or a mandoline slicer, slice them into thin, round slices. Place them in a large bowl.

Step 2

If you’d like a less watery salad, sprinkle the cucumber slices with a little salt and let them sit for 10 minutes. Then gently squeeze out the excess water using a clean towel or paper towels.

And If you’d like to add onions, slice the red onion into thin slices and add them to the bowl of cucumbers. This step adds a little crunch and flavor, but you can skip it if you don’t like onions.

Step 3

Now let’s make the dressing. In a separate small bowl, mix together the sour cream or yogurt, mayonnaise, vinegar or lemon juice, sugar, salt, pepper, and dill. Stir until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Finally, combine the ingredients and refrigerate. Pour the dressing over the cucumber mixture and toss until all the slices are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors blend, and makes it cool and very delicious.

Tips for the Best Creamy Cucumber Salad

Thin slices are better: Use a mandoline slicer to get even, thin slices. This makes the salad easier to eat and helps the dressing stick better.

Let it chill: Always let your salad rest in the fridge for at least 15–30 minutes before serving. It brings out the flavor and keeps the cucumbers crispy.

Add crunch: Want some extra crunch? Try tossing in a few sliced radishes or even a handful of sunflower seeds.

What to Eat with Creamy Cucumber Salad ??
