It’s crisp and refreshing, exactly what we’re looking for when we want to avoid the stove or oven at all costs

Ingredients:

Ingredient Quantity
Cucumbers 3-4 Kirby pickling cucumbers
Red onion (optional) ½ small, thinly sliced
Sour cream ½ cup
Mayonnaise ⅓ cup
Fresh dill, chopped ¼ cup
Fresh lemon juice ½ tablespoon
Salt and black pepper To taste

Instructions:

    1. Prep the Cucumbers:

      • Wash the cucumbers and pat them dry. Peel them if desired, though it’s not necessary for Kirby cucumbers.
      • Slice the cucumbers thinly. You can use a knife, mandoline, or spiralizer for different textures.
    2. Optional: Add Red Onion:

      • If using red onion, thinly slice it and add it to a bowl with the cucumbers.
    3. Make the Creamy Dressing:

      • In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  1. Combine and Chill:

    • Pour the creamy dressing over the cucumbers and red onion (if using). Gently toss to coat everything evenly.
    • Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes, or up to several hours, to allow the flavors to meld.
  2. Serve:

    • Serve the chilled creamy cucumber salad as a side dish or appetizer. Garnish with additional fresh dill if desired.
