CUCUMBERS & SOUR CREAM



Cucumbers & Sour Cream image

This is a side dish that is true to my Eastern European roots. I grew up eating this unique, but delicious cucumber dish as a side to a meal of veal & pork meatballs with mashed potatoes. My great grandmother brought it with her from Poland, and my grandmother continued her tradition, then my mother followed suit. I am forever...

Provided by Phyllis Gesch

Categories     Vegetables

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 english cucumbers, peeled & sliced
3 tsp sugar, divided
1 tsp salt
1 dash(es) black pepper
2 1/2 Tbsp vinegar
16 oz light sour cream

Steps:

  • 1. Peel two English cucumbers, and slice thinly. Put in to a medium bowl. Sprinkle cucumber slices with 2 teaspoons of the sugar, the salt, the pepper (to your liking), and the vinegar.
  • 2. Let the cucumbers sit with the seasonings and vinegar for 10 minutes, stirring once or twice to be sure all slices are coated. After about 10 minutes, drain the cucumbers, reserving about 1 tablespoon of liquid behind in the bowl.
  • 3. Once drained, add all of the sour cream and stir gently.
  • 4. Once all cucumbers have been incorporated in to the sour cream, add your last teaspoon of sugar, and mix well. Taste your food -- it should be balanced between the vinegar, the sugar, and the salt, and should finish with a slightly sweet note.
  • 5. Cover and refrigerate for several hours, or overnight. I find these taste best when they have a full 24 hours to hang out in the fridge. Serve cold, and enjoy! These are truly delicious!

Tips:

  • Choose the right cucumbers: Pick firm, unwaxed cucumbers with dark green skin and no blemishes. English or Persian cucumbers are ideal for this recipe.
  • Slice the cucumbers thinly: This will help them absorb the sour cream dressing better. Use a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer for even slices.
  • Use fresh herbs: Dill, parsley, and chives are classic herbs for cucumber salad. Finely chop them just before adding them to the salad to preserve their flavor and aroma.
  • Make the sour cream dressing ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. You can make it up to a day in advance. Just be sure to store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to use it.
  • Serve the salad chilled: This is a refreshing salad that's best served cold. Chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving, or even overnight.

Conclusion:

Cucumber with sour cream is a refreshing, flavorful salad that's perfect for summer. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it simple with just cucumbers, sour cream, and herbs, or you prefer to add other ingredients like red onion, tomatoes, or radishes, this salad is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a light and healthy side dish, give this cucumber with sour cream salad a try.
