Description

A creamy cucumber and tomato salad tossed in a tangy sour cream and dill dressing. Cool, refreshing, and perfect for summer picnics or potlucks.


Ingredients

  • 2 English cucumbers, sliced into ¼-inch rounds
  • ⅓ cup thinly sliced red or white onion (optional)
  • 1½ cups cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cup sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt as a healthy substitute)
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup fresh dill, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons white vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Prep the vegetables: Wash and slice cucumbers into thin rounds. If using field cucumbers, peel and de-seed them. Slice tomatoes and onion. Soak onion in cold water if you prefer a milder flavor.
  2. Make the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, vinegar, dill, sugar, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Combine: Add the cucumbers, tomatoes, and onion into the bowl. Gently toss everything to coat evenly.
  4. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving for best flavor.
  5. Serve: Garnish with extra dill or cracked pepper, and serve cold.

Notes

This salad can be made several hours ahead. For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and skip the mayo.
