How to make creamy cucumber dill salad:

First, peel the cucumbers. I like to use a fork to score the edges. It is so easy and the cucumbers look so pretty. Just run a fork down the side of the cucumbers to do this.

Second, slice the cucumbers into 1/4″ slices. This is not necessary but I like to use a mandoline slicer to slice the cucumbers. It is so handy and you definitely will get a lot of use out of this.

Next, combine the sour cream, dill, vinegar and other seasonings together in a small mixing bowl.

Finally, add the cucumbers and red onions with the dressing. It is that easy!

CAN YOU MAKE IT IN ADVANCE?

Yes, it actually tastes best if it is made at least 2 hours in advance and refrigerated to let the flavors combine. You can easily make this ahead to save time and then just grab and go when you are ready to serve.

Plus, it gives all the flavors time to combine and tastes amazing!

HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?

Cucumber salad will last 3-4 days in the fridge if stored inside an airtight container. However, it is best fresh.

Variation ideas:

Cucumbers – We prefer English cucumbers but you can use regular cucumbers instead. I suggest scooping out the seeds if using regular cucumbers because it will water down the salad and make it soggy.
Onions- Red onions give this salad a pretty pop of color. Other good options include: white onions and sweet Vidalia onions.
Not in the mood for something creamy? Omit the sour cream and make this Cucumber Onion Salad. It is just as simple but all vinegar based instead of the creamy version.
