Notes
Some tips for this recipe:
- Use English cucumbers or other thin-skinned cucumbers for the best texture and flavor in the salad. You can peel them if desired, but it's not necessary.
- Make sure to slice the cucumbers and red onion thinly for a delicate and crisp salad texture.
- Customize the salad by adding additional ingredients such as cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, or crumbled feta cheese for extra flavor and color.
- For a lighter version of the dressing, you can use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, or a combination of both.
- Serve the creamy cucumber salad as a side dish with grilled meats, sandwiches, or burgers, or enjoy it on its own as a refreshing snack or light lunch.
