CREAMY DILL CUCUMBERS

This cucumber salad is quite delish! I usually serve it immediately after preparing it, but you could refrigerate it for 30 minutes before serving it.

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

6-7 medium size cucumbers, peeled & sliced thin
2 tablesp. finely chopped red or white onion
2 tablesp. thinly sliced green onions (or use red onion)
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
1 (1 oz.) packet hidden valley ranch salad dressing mix
1-1/2 tsp. dried dill weed
1/2 tsp. celery seed
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/8 tsp. black pepper

Steps:

1. In a large bowl mix together, the mayonnaise, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, dill weed, celery seed, plus the 1/4 teaspoon and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper.
2. Add the sliced cucumbers and onion, and gently stir to mix everything together.
3. Serve salad immediately.
4. Note: I have made this salad twice, once using chopped white onion, and thinly sliced green onion. The second time I made this salad, I added 4 tablespoons of finely chopped red onion, in place of the white and green onion, and that tasted great in the salad too! Also, when I added the sliced cucumbers, they were cucumbers I had in the refrigerator, which help the salad to stay cool.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh, unwaxed cucumbers.
If you don't have fresh dill, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried dill.
To make the cucumbers extra crispy, soak them in ice water for 30 minutes before slicing.
If you want a sweeter cucumber salad, add 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey.
For a more tangy salad, add 1 tablespoon of vinegar.
Serve the cucumber salad immediately or chill it for later.

Conclusion:

This creamy dill cucumber salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy salad, give this recipe a try!
