You see that cucumber salad up there? I ate every bit of that. Sure, not in one sitting. It took me a couple of tries but I’m no quitter and I stuck with it until the bowl was empty. And I’d do it again, too, given half the chance. Creamy Cucumber salads are just that good!
This is a very light and refreshing side dish with the taste of cucumbers in a creamy smooth sauce. Ever since I showed it on a plate with Crunchy Chicken I’ve had tons of comments and emails from folks asking me what it was. Now let’s make creamy cucumbers. This one comes together fast so don’t blink because you’ll miss it.
Recipe Ingredients:
- Cucumbers
- Sour cream
- Vinegar

- Salt
That’s it. And as usual our printable recipe card is further down with all the ingredient quantities and instructions.
How to Make a Creamy Cucumber Salad Step By Step
Stir all ingredients together except the cucumbers.
Peel and slice your cucumbers kinda thin-ish.
Cucumber Chunks or Slices…
It really doesn’t matter… If you like thicker cucumbers or even cucumber chunks, knock yourself out. I set out to slice thin slices and then I start going down my mental to do list and my slices get progressively thicker, then I remember what I’m supposed to be doing and they get thin again. And it works.
Put cucumber slices in a bowl and pour dressing over. Stir well to coat. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate to serve later.
Ingredients
- 3-4 Cucumbers
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
Instructions
- Peel cucumbers and slice thin. Place in medium mixing bowl.
- In small bowl, stir together all other ingredients.
- Pour over cucumbers and stir to coat. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate.

I love these creamy cukes. They can be cut into heart shape for Valentine’s Day. 🙂
I make these often. I add twists to them. I use half sour cream and half mayo. I also sometimes add some dry ranch mix to give it a little more flavor. Or some seasoning salt and garlic pepper.
I bet that is good! Thanks for sharing your tips Jodi, I am going to have to give it a try 🙂
I made this today with things I had in the house. I was out of dill and cut down on the sugar and they were still fantastic! I even left them skin-on for ease.
I loved your story, thank you for shating!! I remember the electric blue mascara and Bon Jovi days too! I’m sure the recipe is good, but your story and your writing are beautiful!
Beautiful story. I had sisters in a not so nice setting. I think back at all the “capers” and I am amazed that we lived through them. I may have been the mastermind for some of them…
I am going to try this tonight. My husband loves cukes!
🙂 I hope you enjoy the Creamy Cucumbers!!
My grandmother used to make a sour cream cucumber salad similar to this but it also had thinly sliced onions in it. It was a German recipe and she called it Gurkensalat. This brings back so many memories of her!! Thanks for the lovely recipe and a reminder of my wonderful grandmother!!
Am so glad this brought back lovely memories of your Grandmother <3
