CREAMY DILL CUCUMBERS

This cucumber salad is quite delish! I usually serve it immediately after preparing it, but you could refrigerate it for 30 minutes before serving it.

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

6-7 medium size cucumbers, peeled & sliced thin
2 tablesp. finely chopped red or white onion
2 tablesp. thinly sliced green onions (or use red onion)
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
1 (1 oz.) packet hidden valley ranch salad dressing mix
1-1/2 tsp. dried dill weed
1/2 tsp. celery seed
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/8 tsp. black pepper

Steps:

1. In a large bowl mix together, the mayonnaise, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, dill weed, celery seed, plus the 1/4 teaspoon and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper.
2. Add the sliced cucumbers and onion, and gently stir to mix everything together.
3. Serve salad immediately.
4. Note: I have made this salad twice, once using chopped white onion, and thinly sliced green onion. The second time I made this salad, I added 4 tablespoons of finely chopped red onion, in place of the white and green onion, and that tasted great in the salad too! Also, when I added the sliced cucumbers, they were cucumbers I had in the refrigerator, which help the salad to stay cool.

Tips:

Choose the right cucumbers. For best results, choose firm, unwaxed cucumbers that are about 6 to 8 inches long. English cucumbers are a good option, as they have a mild flavor and few seeds.
Slice the cucumbers thinly. This will help them absorb the marinade more easily. You can use a mandoline or a sharp knife to slice the cucumbers.
Make the marinade ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. You can make the marinade up to 2 days in advance.
Chill the cucumbers before serving. This will help them stay crisp and refreshing.
Garnish with fresh dill. Dill is a classic herb that pairs perfectly with cucumbers. You can also add other herbs, such as chives or parsley, to taste.

Conclusion:

Creamy dill cucumbers are a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and refreshing snack or side dish that will be enjoyed by all.
