Creamy Cucumber Salad with Garlic and Dill
Description
Creamy Cucumber Salad with Garlic and Dill features cucumbers and red onion slices tossed in a mixture of sour cream and white vinegar for a creamy yet tangy base. Minced garlic and fresh dill add pungent and herbal flavors, while sugar balances acidity and salt enhances taste. The salad is whipped together and refrigerated for at least an hour to allow flavors to blend and for cucumbers to absorb the dressing.
The result is a juicy yet creamy salad with crisp cucumber texture and mild sharpness from onion and garlic. The use of English cucumbers provides thin, tender slices. Regular seedless cucumbers can also be used, increasing quantity to four due to their smaller size. Dried dill may substitute fresh dill at a reduced measurement.
This versatile salad pairs well with grilled dishes, sandwiches, or as a light, cool complement to heavier meals.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar distilled
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons dill minced fresh
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 medium English cucumber thinly sliced
- 1 medium red onion thinly sliced
Instructions
- In a large bowl whisk together sour cream, vinegar, garlic, dill, sugar, and salt.
- Add cucumbers and onion into the mixture and stir until combined.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour, or until ready to serve.
Notes
- Regular seedless cucumbers can replace English cucumbers; use four smaller ones to match quantity.
- Fresh dill is preferred, but dried dill (2 to 3 teaspoons) can be used if fresh is unavailable.
