MARINATED CUCUMBERS IN SOUR CREAM

Next to dipped in ranch dressing, this is my favorite way to eat cucumbers. I love the cool flavor of the sour cream with the crunch of the cucumbers. If you are like my mom, you will remove the seeds ("to get rid of the burp"). If you're like me, you'll wonder what she's talking about while munching on these, seeds and all! :)

Tips:

  • You can add other ingredients to the sour cream dressing, such as chopped fresh herbs, grated lemon zest, or a pinch of garlic powder.
  • If you don't have time to chill the cucumbers before serving, you can serve them at room temperature. However, chilled cucumbers will be more refreshing.
  • Cucumbers in sour cream can be served as a side dish, appetizer, or snack. They are also a great addition to salads, sandwiches, and wraps.
