Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 English cucumbers, peeled
1 1/8 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup mint leaves, chopped
1/4 cup chopped chives

Steps:

  • Using a Japanese mandolin or a sharp knife, thinly slice the cucumbers about 1/16-inch thick. Place the sliced cucumbers in a large colander and toss well with 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Place the colander over a large bowl and allow the cucumbers to sit and begin to drain for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the sour cream, white balsamic vinegar, olive oil, mint, chives and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Using your hands or a rubber spatula, squeeze or press out the excess water from the cucumbers. It is best to work in small batches to extract as much water as possible. Add the squeezed cucumbers to the sour cream dressing. Using a rubber spatula, toss the cucumber in the dressing until well coated, and serve.

This is my go-to cucumber salad recipe. It's always a hit at parties and picnics. The creamy dressing is the perfect complement to the crisp cucumbers.

Not a fan. The dressing was too bland for my taste, and the cucumbers were a bit too crunchy. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

Easy and delicious! I used Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a healthier version, and it was still creamy and flavorful. The cucumber salad was a great side dish for my grilled chicken.

This cucumber salad was a refreshing hit at my summer potluck! The creamy dressing was light and tangy, and the cucumbers were crisp and flavorful. I added a bit of extra dill for a pop of freshness, and it was perfect. Will definitely be making this
