🥒 Fresh & Creamy Dill Cucumber Salad (The Perfect Summer Side)

Cool, crisp cucumbers tossed in a creamy sour cream dressing with tangy vinegar, savory red onion, and classic dill. This refreshing cucumber salad comes together in minutes and tastes like something you’d order at a cozy steakhouse. The mini cucumbers stay perfectly crunchy while the creamy dill dressing adds just the right amount of richness. It’s the kind of simple side dish everyone goes back for seconds of — especially during spring and summer dinners.

Perfect alongside grilled meats, roasted chicken, burgers, or any comfort meal that needs something fresh and cool on the side.

Ingredients

• 1 bag small cucumbers (mini cucumbers), thinly sliced
• ¼ red onion, very thinly sliced
• ½ cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried dill

Instructions

1. Slice cucumbers
   Thinly slice the mini cucumbers. Because they are tender and seedless, there’s no need to peel or salt them first.
2. Make the dressing
   In a medium bowl whisk together:
   • sour cream
   • vinegar
   • salt
   • pepper
   • dried dill
3. Combine
   Add cucumbers and thinly sliced red onion to the bowl and toss until evenly coated.
4. Chill
   Refrigerate 20–30 minutes so the cucumbers absorb the dressing.
5. Serve
   Garnish with a little extra dried dill or fresh dill and cracked pepper.
