CUCUMBER SOUR CREAM



Cucumber Sour Cream image

Categories     Condiment/Spread     Sauce     No-Cook     Low Carb     Quick & Easy     Cucumber     Arugula     Spinach     Sour Cream     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup (packed) baby spinach leaves
1 cup (packed) arugula leaves
1/2 shallot
3/4 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons whole grain Dijon mustard
1/2 cup chopped seeded peeled cucumber

Steps:

  • Finely chop spinach, arugula, and shallot in processor. Add sour cream and mustard; process just until blended. Transfer to medium bowl. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.) Stir cucumber into sour cream mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm cucumbers for the best flavor and texture. Avoid cucumbers that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Peel the cucumbers before slicing them if you prefer a milder flavor. However, leaving the skin on will give the salad a more vibrant color.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the cucumbers thinly. This will help them to absorb the sour cream dressing more easily.
  • Add other vegetables to the salad for a more colorful and flavorful dish. Some good options include tomatoes, onions, radishes, and bell peppers.
  • Season the salad to taste with salt, pepper, and dill. You can also add a bit of lemon juice or vinegar for a tangy flavor.
  • Serve the salad chilled for a refreshing summer side dish.

Conclusion:

Cucumbers with sour cream is a classic summer salad that is easy to make and always a hit. With its creamy, tangy dressing and refreshing cucumber flavor, it's a perfect side dish for grilled meats, fish, or poultry.
