Creamy Cucumber Salad (My Mom’s Style)
You will never read about a childhood recipe that my mother made was in any way terrible. She was a great cook. Lately, in her dotage I must state that the kitchen is not where she wants to be AND she modified her once delicious recipes to be ehhhh less attractive. This classic cucumber salad is made with sour cream and I love this over any summer salad side you can offer. It is easy to make, not expensive and is a great crowd pleaser. Let’s make my Mother’s recipe…handed to her by her mother….Classic Cucumber Salad!
3 medium cucumbers (skin on thinly sliced)
1 red onion (peeled and thinly sliced)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tbsp maynonaise
pinch salt
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
1 tbsp vinegar
1 tsp sugar
1/8 tsp chopped dill weed
In a large bowl whisk sour cream, salt, sugar, black pepper, vinegar and mayonnaise. Add sliced onion and cucumbers and toss well (gently) as to coat the veggies. Sprinkle with the fresh chopped dill. COVER and chill for 2 hours. Serve cold….
