Cucumber salad is a refreshing and healthy dish that's perfect for any occasion. This recipe combines crisp cucumbers with a creamy dressing made from mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, honey, and simple seasonings. It's easy to prepare and delivers a delightful crunch with every bite, making it an excellent side dish for picnics, barbecues, or as a light meal on its own.
- For a lighter version, you can substitute the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
- To avoid a watery salad, you can place the sliced cucumbers in a colander and sprinkle them with a little salt. Let them sit for about 30 minutes to draw out excess moisture, then rinse and pat dry before mixing with the dressing.
- Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- You can add a little dill or other fresh herbs to enhance the flavor.
- For added texture, consider including some sliced cherry tomatoes or bell peppers.
Enjoy your creamy and tangy cucumber salad as a delicious side dish or a light appetizer. The balance of flavors from the dressing complements the crisp cucumbers and crunchy red onions perfectly. It's a quick and easy recipe that's sure to become a favorite in your home.
