Categories     Salad     Herb     Side     Cucumber     Summer     Chill     Sour Cream     House & Garden     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 teaspoon salt
1 scant tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped chives or a grating of onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, head and fronds
1 teaspoon celery seed
2 firm fresh cucumbers

Steps:

  • Dissolve the salt and sugar in the vinegar, add the sour cream and stir smooth. You may like more or less vinegar, salt or sugar, but don't make the dressing too sweet. Add the chives, dill and celery seed. Slice the unpared cucumbers paper-thin and combine with the dressing. Chill for 1 hour or more. Sour cream cucumbers improve in taste as they stand. The flavor of the cucumbers seeps into the dressing.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of cucumber: Look for firm, deep green cucumbers that are free of blemishes. English cucumbers or Persian cucumbers are ideal for this recipe.
  • Slice the cucumbers thinly: This will help them to absorb the sour cream dressing more easily. You can use a mandoline or a sharp knife to slice the cucumbers.
  • Make sure the sour cream is cold: Cold sour cream will help to keep the cucumbers crisp and refreshing.
  • Add fresh herbs and seasonings: Fresh dill, parsley, chives, and garlic are all great additions to this recipe. You can also add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
  • Chill the cucumbers before serving: This will help them to stay crisp and refreshing. You can chill the cucumbers for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Cucumbers in Sour Cream is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy and tangy dressing, this dish is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy side dish, give Cucumbers in Sour Cream a try.
