My Creamy Cucumber Salad is the perfect old fashioned side dish recipe. Thinly sliced fresh cucumbers in a light sour cream and mayo sauce. Simple seasoned with salt, pepper, and a touch of sugar.
My Creamy Cucumber Salad uses mayo and sour cream to create a light creamy sauce. When you first make the cucumbers the sauce will be thicker and seasoning more pronounced. I highly recommend allowing the cucumbers to chill in the fridge for a few hours. Time in the cool fridge will allow the cucumbers and sauce to meld, and your sauce to thin so it lightly coats the cucumbers versus a heavier coating. Plus, I think this tastes better chilled than at room temperature.
If you are serving these right away I would season slowly because, as I said before, the sauce will be creamier and seasoning more pronounced.
This is one of my favorite summer sides, and my kiddos love it. They see me peeling cucumbers and are excited to steal some, and get cool cucumber salad with their dinner. It has old fashion roots and has been a family favorite for a long time!
