Few summer vegetables are as refreshing and hydrating as cucumbers. Cool and crunchy, they’re popular in many side salad recipes<\/a>, including this creamy cucumber salad with sour cream. It is a classic among summer salads<\/a>, but one you can enjoy all year. Whether using fresh-from-the-garden cukes or ones plucked from the produce aisle, cucumbers sliced and combined with onions, vinegar and sour cream are one of life’s great pleasures.<\/p>\n Like many healthy cucumber recipes<\/a>, the creamy cucumber salad can be made easily and quickly with just about any type of cucumber, including English cucumbers or homegrown slicing and pickling varieties. Sour cream cucumbers are wonderful alongside everything from goulash<\/a> to this potato kielbasa skillet<\/a>, but we’ve been known to eat this creamy cucumber salad with sour cream on its own just because it tastes that good.<\/p>\n In a large bowl, whisk the sour cream, vinegar, sugar and pepper until the sugar has dissolved and the ingredients have blended smoothly. Add the cucumber and onion slices, and toss to coat.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em>\u00a0<\/span>For the crispest vegetables, before adding them to the salad, toss the cucumber and onion slices with 1 to 2 teaspoons salt and let them sit for 30 minutes. Gently squeeze the slices to remove moisture and salt. Rinse the vegetables and squeeze them again for even less salt in the final recipe.<\/span><\/p>\n Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least four hours. Serve the salad with a slotted spoon or tongs, letting the excess dressing drain into the bowl. Grind more pepper over each serving to taste.<\/p>\n Leftover creamy cucumber salad should be returned to the refrigerator within two hours (or one hour if temperatures climb above 90\u00b0F) to prevent the sour cream from spoiling. The salad will become runny while it is stored. For the best texture, refrigerate it in an airtight container for no more than four days. Extra liquid can be drained away before you serve the salad again.<\/p>\n Refrigerating creamy cucumber salad with sour cream for four hours turns the thick sour cream into a light dressing that coats the vegetables, but letting it chill longer makes the dressing so watery that it sloughs off the cucumbers. If you want to make this salad ahead of time, plan to serve it within one to three days, and serve it cold from the refrigerator for the best flavor and texture.<\/p>\n To ensure your cucumber salad with sour cream isn’t too watery, slice and salt the cucumbers and onions before mixing them with the sour cream and vinegar. Pickling cucumbers hold slightly less water than slicing ones, so choosing these can also help reduce the salad’s wateriness.<\/p>\n You don’t need to peel the cucumbers for this salad, but you might want to if they have thick, waxy skin like American cucumbers. This large, dark green type is the most common and affordable variety, and often just labeled “cucumber” at the grocery store. American cucumbers are almost always waxed before shipping to keep them fresh and undamaged, so if you decide to leave the peel on, give the cucumbers a good scrub before you slice them. If there’s a bitter cucumber taste<\/a>, peeling off the skin may reduce it.<\/p>\n This salad’s combination of tangy, sweet and creamy sits well alongside many main dishes. Serve cucumber salad with Key West flank steak, grilled mahi mahi or other healthy grilled dinners<\/a>. If you add dill to the salad, serve it alongside salmon. The creamy cucumbers also make a tasty topping or filling. Spread them on a tomato sandwich, tuck them with falafel or gyro meat into pita bread as a stand-in for tzatziki sauce, or chop them coarsely and pile them in a baked potato.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cucumber salad with sour cream is the side dish you need.
