Cucumber Sour Cream Salad Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Lor / All my dishes 1 year, 6 months ago This is the way my Mother-in-law prepared cucumber salad. Sometimes my Mother-in-law added diced pickled beets to the salad. It was delicious and added a slight pinkish colour to the sour cream. Prep:20m Servings:6	Lor

Ingredients

1 large English cucumber (no seeds), washed, fork run the length of the cucumber all around, then thinly sliced

Note: Both my Mother and Mother-in-law took a fork and ran it lengthwise along the outside of the entire cucumber. My Mother said it helped to prevent indigestion and she liked how it looked.

1 medium Spanish or vidalia onion, thinly sliced

1 tub sour cream, never used light sour cream

a splash of either lemon juice or vinegar

Spring onion or fresh chives and always fresh dill from the garden to sprinkle over top

Directions

Thinly slice the cucumber and onion.

Blend together the sour cream and either a splash of lemon juice or vinegar.

Pour the sour cream over cucumber and onion.

Gently fold mixture and allow to sit in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.

Garnish with fresh spring onion / chives and always fresh dill.

Serves 4 - 6

I was looking for a version of the cucumber salad which sounded like the one I remember my Polish mother-in-law making. I think I found it here! Thanks.
