Cucumber Salad with Sour Cream is a refreshing and creamy delight, perfect for those craving a cool and tangy side dish. Start by thinly slicing crisp cucumbers, choosing varieties like English or Persian for their tender texture. Combine these cucumber slices with finely sliced red onions for a subtle bite and a pop of color.
In a mixing bowl, create the creamy dressing by blending sour cream with white wine vinegar for a delightful tang. Add a touch of sugar to balance the flavors, and season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. The result is a velvety dressing that complements the crispness of the cucumbers.
Gently toss the cucumber and onion mixture with the sour cream dressing, ensuring an even coating. For an extra burst of freshness, incorporate chopped dill or parsley, enhancing the overall flavor profile.
Chill the Cucumber Salad with Sour Cream in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and intensify. This simple yet flavorful salad is a versatile accompaniment, pairing well with grilled meats, sandwiches, or serving as a cooling side on warm days.
Whether enjoyed at picnics, barbecues, or as a light addition to weeknight dinners, the Cucumber Salad with Sour Cream offers a delightful combination of crispness and creaminess, making every bite a refreshing and satisfying experience.

Feedback of Cucumber Salad With Sour Cream Recipes
Have people that made the recipe slice the cucumbers real thin?Add sugar to taste, 1/3 C is way too much unless you want a real sweet dish. Salt cukes and let sit for 20 minutes, rinse and pat dry to keep crisp. Very thinly sliced onion added is a nice touch. I’m a more “non measuring exactly” type cook so after putting the sour cream in a bowl, I’d taste the mixture as I go along. Just suggestions.
I don’t often do this the first time I make a recipe, but I had concerns that this was going to be bland, so I tweaked it to suit our tastes. We’re not really into too much sweetness these days, so I cut the sugar way back, used white balsamic vinegar, added some sliced red onion which soaked with the cuke slices, and added a garnish of chopped fresh dill. With these modifications, we were pretty happy with the way it turned out, but not convinced I’ll make it again.
We liked this cucumber recipe. It was easy to make and a good change from our regular cucumber salad. I used white wine vinegar and added some sliced onion which was tasty.
Kudos for mentioning the recipe. Put it over hot boiled skinless potatoes,, and also there is a fun version to substitute lettuce for the cucumbers, again over boiled hot potatoes.
Great basic recipe. I cut sugar to 1/4 cup and added a little dill.
Merely guidelines, I use plain, fat free, greek yogurt, cut the sugar to a couple tablespoons and add 1/4-1/2 teaspoon powdered mustard in place of the pepper. 💚
I made this for the first time today, and “wow” is it delicious! I know some have complained about the amount of sugar used, but to us it’s just enough. I didn’t alter anything in the recipe, and it is perfect the way it is! Reminds me of my Mom’s.
I really appreciated and liked the recipe! But what's w/the soaking the cucumbers? For crying out loud, every other recipe suggests salting and allowing to stand to remove the cucumber's natural water so as not to dilute the dressing. Why would we soak the cukes? Makes no sense to me. That step I will skip.
Great flavor
