This Midwestern Creamy Cucumber recipe is made with fresh cucumbers, sour cream, vinegar, and fresh herbs. It’s an easy side dish idea perfect for summer potlucks, picnics and backyard cookouts!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large English cucumbers
  • 3 teaspoons kosher salt, divided

  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

Instructions

  1. Peel and thinly slice cucumbers. Sprinkle them with 2 teaspoons of kosher salt and place them in a colander in the sink, allowing the salt to draw out the excess moisture for about 30 minutes.
  2. Make the dressing by combining in a large bowl the sour cream, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, vinegar, sugar, garlic, and fresh dill and mix well.
  3. Once the cucumbers have drained, gently shake off the excess moisture and add them to the bowl with the dressing. Toss to coat and serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
