CREAMED CUCUMBERS AND ONIONS
I always loved cucumbers and onions growing up and made them for my family. My daughter didn't like it as well, complaining it's too sour so I used a recipe from my aunt from the south that would sweeten it up. I can say I now make this version most of the time, it's so fresh and delicious in the summer when we use our own...

Steps:
- 1. Mix mayo, sour cream, vinegar, sugar, garlic, onion, & dill weed in a medium bowl.
- 2. Peel and slice cucumbers and onions and put in a strainer. Pour salt over the cucumbers and mix until well coated. Allow to sit for 1/2 an hour or so. Rinse salt off and pat cucumbers dry with a paper towel. This process brings the moisture out of the cucumbers so the recipe stays creamy instead of liquidy.
- 3. Stir cucumbers into mayo mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. It will even taste better the next day just as the old fashioned cucumbers and onions would!
CREAMED CUCUMBERS & ONIONS
Steps:
- Peel cucumbers and slice in thin circles. Halve the onions and slice thin. Layer both the cucumbers and onions in a shallow dish, sprinkling each layer with salt. Let stand covered, in refrigerator overnight to draw out the moisture. In the morning, drain the cucumbers and onions and rinse. Let dry on plain white paper towels. Beat together the mayonnaise, sugar and vinegar until creamy. Gently stir into mixed cucumbers and onions. The dressing should be plentiful so the salad is creamy. Chill before serving.
