Just like cold watermelon, this tasty salad is one of the best of summer’s little pleasures. This salad is not fancy at all, but it is a special salad with cool and fresh cucumbers and rich and creamy sour cream. The addition of dill and vinegar makes this salad extra wonderful. I also enjoy that I can pair this salad with a wide variety of meals. As for us, we love this sour cream cucumber salad with grilled hamburgers, baked salmon, and Cajun chicken.
Follow the simple steps to make this fantastic salad. You can stick to the recipe, but there are some variations you could try. If you are not a big fan of dill, you can always swap it with other herbs like parsley or cilantro. As for the sour cream, you can use half sour cream and half mayonnaise for the dressing. You can even use freshly squeezed lemon juice in place of vinegar. Either way, you are guaranteed one of the best salads you can ever make!
