CREAMED CUCUMBERS



Creamed Cucumbers image

We moved here about 3 years ago and we love our home in the country. We plant a garden each year, making sure there's always plenty of cucumbers. I must admit I never really cared for cukes until my mother-in-law prepared them this way. Now they're one of my favorite vegetables.

CREAMED CUCUMBERS AND ONIONS



Creamed Cucumbers and Onions image

I always loved cucumbers and onions growing up and made them for my family. My daughter didn't like it as well, complaining it's too sour so I used a recipe from my aunt from the south that would sweeten it up. I can say I now make this version most of the time, it's so fresh and delicious in the summer when we use our own...

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cucumbers, peeled & sliced
1-2 onions, peeled & sliced
1 c mayonnaise
1 c sour cream
3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar (more or less per your taste)
1/2 c sugar (more or less per your taste)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp dill weed
1/2 c salt (will discard later)

Steps:

  • 1. Mix mayo, sour cream, vinegar, sugar, garlic, onion, & dill weed in a medium bowl.
  • 2. Peel and slice cucumbers and onions and put in a strainer. Pour salt over the cucumbers and mix until well coated. Allow to sit for 1/2 an hour or so. Rinse salt off and pat cucumbers dry with a paper towel. This process brings the moisture out of the cucumbers so the recipe stays creamy instead of liquidy.
  • 3. Stir cucumbers into mayo mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. It will even taste better the next day just as the old fashioned cucumbers and onions would!

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 cucumbers (either peeled or not is fine)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. heavy whipping cream
2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar

Let cucumbers sit for around 30 minutes to drain. Squeeze out any excess liquid from cucumbers (I use my hands for this) and place squeezed cucumbers in a large bowl. Mix in rest of ingredients and chill until serving. I tend to add a little more vinegar and or cream depending upon taste.

Tips:

  • For a creamier sauce, use full-fat sour cream and milk.
  • Add a tablespoon of minced fresh dill or chives for extra flavor.
  • If you don't have fresh cucumbers, you can use frozen cucumbers that have been thawed and drained.
  • Serve creamed cucumbers as a side dish or as a topping for grilled fish or chicken.

Conclusion:

Creamed cucumbers are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or as a topping for grilled fish or chicken. They are also a great way to use up leftover cucumbers.
