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!

I had some trouble getting the sauce to thicken. I ended up adding a little bit of cornstarch and that seemed to do the trick.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could use some more spices or herbs.
