Creamy Cucumber Salad with Garlic
Report
With the arrival of summer, I start harvesting cucumbers in bulk in my greenhouse. One of the best cucumber salads my family loves is made with a dressing of sour cream and mayonnaise, flavored with finely crushed garlic. Quick, easy, yet delicious recipe!

Ingredients
- 1 pound cucumber
- ⅓ cup sour cream fat content about 15-18%
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ Tablespoon white vinegar 5% acidity
- ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 clove garlic
- ¼ teaspoon salt to taste
Instructions
- Rinse 1 pound cucumbers and cut them, skin on, into slices about ⅛ inch (3 mm) thick. Use a sharp kitchen knife, not a grater. This will keep the cucumbers crunchy without having to sweat them in advance.
- Peel and press 1 clove garlic.
- Transfer the sliced cucumbers to a mixing bowl. Season with ¼ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon granulated sugar, ½ Tablespoon white vinegar, and pressed garlic. Add ⅓ cup sour cream and ½ cup mayonnaise. Stir to combine and refrigerate for 20 minutes; the flavors will blend beautifully.
Notes
- SERVING:
- The basic recipe makes 3-4 portions.
- SERVING: Serve this creamy salad as a side dish by placing it in a small bowl next to your plate.
- This cucumber salad is best enjoyed immediately. If it sits too long, the dressing will become watery. Do not freeze the salad.
- If you are a fan of a bolder flavor, you can add a dash of ground black pepper to the dressing.
