SOUR CREAM CUCUMBER SALAD



Sour Cream Cucumber Salad image

"ONE OF the staples of Ukrainian cooking is sour cream. This combination of sour cream and cucumbers makes a very tasty salad. During the summer we use cucumbers from our garden for that wonderfully fresh, crunchy taste. But store-bought cucumbers work almost as well, so we enjoy this dish year-around-it goes especially well with meat dishes."

CAULIFLOWER AND CUCUMBER SALAD WITH SOUR CREAM



Cauliflower and Cucumber Salad With Sour Cream image

I adapted this from a low-carb cookbook. It is super easy and fast to make if you use your food processor's slicing blade. It is also a bit colourful on a buffet table. Times do not include refrigeration.

Provided by Leggy Peggy

Categories     Cauliflower

Time 15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 head cauliflower (about 1 1/2 pounds)
2 lebanese cucumbers (the skinny ones)
1 small red onion
1 medium bell pepper, any colour
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup light sour cream
2 tablespoons cider vinegar or 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 -2 tablespoon chopped fresh dill (use 1/3 of this amount if you use dried dill)

Steps:

  • Slice the first four ingredients as thinly as you can. Use a sharp knife.
  • Combine the sliced vegetables and the salt. I usually put them all in a clean ice cream container (with a lid) and shake the dickens out of 'em. Then I put the container in the fridge for a couple of hours.
  • Remove the container from the fridge and drain off any liquid that has accumulated.
  • In another bowl, combine the last three ingredients. Then stir this mixture through the vegetables.
  • Put the lid back on the container and give everything some more good shakes to combine.
  • You can serve immediately, but this recipe keeps well for several days, and usually tastes better the second day onwards.

GETTING kids to eat their vegetables can be tricky business for many parents. Admits Karen Holt, "My kids are not vegetable eaters, so I'm constantly challenged to find recipes that appeal to their appetites." This Redding, California mother adds that Sour Cream Cucumbers are a tasty way to make a plentiful vegetable acceptable to her picky trio. "Not only is this the only way my kids will eat cucumbers, but they actually request it!" Karen reports. "The recipe is simple and delicious." Karen found the recipe about 5 years ago and revised it by sweetening it up with a bit more sugar. Even though her kids won't eat plain raw cucumbers, they still love this side dish.

GERMAN CUCUMBER SALAD WITH SOUR CREAM



German Cucumber Salad with Sour Cream image

This is a very light, tasty salad, and not sweet like many cucumber salads. It's very refreshing with a tangy bite from the green onions. I used dried herbs, of course using less, and it was still very tasty. I got the recipe many years ago from a recipe board online, but do not remember the source. However, it was attributed to a man who made this for his guests at an inn he ran in Germany. I included slicing the vegetables in the approximate time.

Provided by Charmed

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 medium cucumbers, peeled and sliced thin
4 green onions, sliced thin (both white & green parts)
3 small tomatoes, sliced
2 tablespoons fresh snipped parsley
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 teaspoon prepared mustard
2 tablespoons fresh dill, minced (or 1 tsp. dried)
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 tablespoon milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine all the salad ingredients.
  • In another small bowl, mix together well all the dressing ingredients.
  • Pour over the cucumber salad mixture and toss gently.
  • Cover and chill for at least an hour.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cucumbers. English or Persian cucumbers are best for this salad, as they have thin skins and few seeds. Avoid using regular cucumbers, as they are more likely to be bitter and watery.
  • Slice the cucumbers thinly. This will help them absorb the dressing better.
  • Use a good quality sour cream. Full-fat sour cream will give the salad a richer flavor than low-fat or nonfat sour cream.
  • Add some fresh herbs. Dill, chives, or parsley are all good choices. They will add a pop of freshness and flavor to the salad.
  • Season the salad to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste, and adjust the amount of vinegar or lemon juice until the salad is balanced.
  • Chill the salad before serving. This will help the flavors meld together and make the salad even more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Cucumber salad with sour cream is a simple but delicious salad that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is light and refreshing, and the sour cream dressing adds a creamy richness that makes it irresistible. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious cucumber salad that everyone will love.
