I love cucumber salad. My favorite way to eat it is marinated in water and white vinegar, but recently I decided to change things up a bit and make some creamy dressing instead. It was a nice twist on an old classic, and my family gobbled it up.
Feel free to swap out the dill for your favorite herbs, and throw in a little sliced or chopped tomato, if you'd like a little extra flavor or color. Cucumber salads are so basic that they're super easy to really make your own!

Ingredients
- 20 oz (567 g) cucumber, rinsed and sliced (about 2 large)
- 4 oz (113 g) red onion, sliced (about 1/2 medium onion)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 tsp dried dill, or to taste
- 1/2 c (4 fl oz/ 118 ml) sour cream
- 3-6 tbsp. (1.5-3 fl oz/ 44-89 ml) white vinegar, to taste
- 2-4 drops liquid stevia, to taste, as desired
Instructions
- Combine cucumber, red onion, and garlic in a lidded, long-ish casserole dish.
- Make the dressing by whisking together all the remaining ingredients. Taste, and adjust vinegar and seasonings, as desired.
- Pour the dressing over the cucumber mixture and toss to coat. Make sure the cucumbers are mostly in one layer so they can marinate well in the dressing.
- Cover and refrigerate until well-chilled and flavors have melded, about 4 hours or overnight.
- Serve cold.
