Description

A refreshing and creamy cucumber salad made with fresh ingredients and perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 medium cucumbers
  • 1 large white onion
  • 3 tablespoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons vinegar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream or sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill

Instructions

  1. Slice cucumbers thin and place in a large bowl. (We use a mandoline.)
  2. Slice onion and place in the bowl with the cucumber.
  3. Sprinkle salt over top. Let sit for 2 hours, or until there is a large amount of liquid in the bowl, almost covering the cucumbers.
  4. Drain cucumbers and onion and rinse with cold water. (Taste test here. You can always rinse again if it seems too salty.)
  5. Add heavy cream, vinegar, and fresh dill and stir well.
  6. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • This salad is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for a couple of hours before serving.
  • Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
