Best Sour Cream Cucumbers Salad Recipes
SOUR CREAM CUCUMBERS SALAD
GETTING kids to eat their vegetables can be tricky business for many parents. Admits Karen Holt, "My kids are not vegetable eaters, so I'm constantly challenged to find recipes that appeal to their appetites." This Redding, California mother adds that Sour Cream Cucumbers are a tasty way to make a plentiful vegetable acceptable to her picky trio. "Not only is this the only way my kids will eat cucumbers, but they actually request it!" Karen reports. "The recipe is simple and delicious." Karen found the recipe about 5 years ago and revised it by sweetening it up with a bit more sugar. Even though her kids won't eat plain raw cucumbers, they still love this side dish. "I don't try to disguise the vegetables, just find ways to make them more palatable," notes Karen. "Sour Cream Cucumbers is a big winner!"

CUCUMBERS AND ONIONS IN A SOUR CREAM BASED SALAD
Steps:
- Slice the cucumber thin, layer in a colander and lightly salt with kosher salt and let sit and drain the water out of the cucumbers for about an hour, or up to 4 hours. While they are sitting, make the dressing by placing the vinegar, the sugar, and the sour cream into a small mixing bowl and mix well, let it sit for about an hour so the sugar dissolves. After the cucumbers have sat for at least their hour, rinse them well, and gently squeeze them. You can put them in a salad spinner to get out excess moisture if you want. Add them to a large mixing bowl. Then, as thinly as you can, but not paper thin, slice the onion in rings or strips. Place them into the bowl with the cucumbers. Give the dressing a good stir again, and pour over vegetables, blend-in the dressing, chill for at least 4 hours and serve. Tightly covered this will keep in the refrigerator for up to two days, and is always better 24 hours after it is made.
