🥒 Creamy Cucumber Salad (Cool & Crunchy)
🛒 Ingredients
3–4 medium cucumbers (thinly sliced)
½ small red onion (thinly sliced)
1 cup plain yogurt or sour cream
1–2 tbsp mayonnaise (optional, for extra creaminess)
1 tbsp lemon juice or white vinegar
1 tsp sugar (optional, balances flavor)
½ tsp salt (or to taste)
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh dill (or 1 tsp dried dill)
👩🍳 Instructions
Prep the cucumbers
Slice cucumbers thinly.
Optional: sprinkle with a little salt and let sit 10 minutes, then drain excess water (keeps salad from getting watery).
Make the dressing
In a bowl, mix yogurt (or sour cream), mayo, lemon juice/vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper.
Stir until smooth and creamy.
Combine
Add cucumbers and sliced onion to the dressing.
Toss gently until everything is well coated.
Chill
Refrigerate for at least 20–30 minutes for best flavor.
Finish
Sprinkle fresh dill on top before serving.
