This Creamy Dill Cucumber Salad is a quick and easy side dish that comes together in just 10 minutes. Crisp cucumbers are tossed in a tangy, creamy dressing with fresh dill, making it perfect for summer barbecues, picnics, or a light lunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large English cucumbers or 3–4 Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup full-fat sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion (optional)

Instructions

  1. Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds, about ⅛-inch thick. Leave the skin on if using English cucumbers.
  2. Place cucumber slices in a large bowl and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Toss gently and let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Transfer salted cucumbers to a colander, rinse quickly with cold water, then pat dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, white vinegar, sugar, and black pepper. Stir in fresh dill.
  5. Add dried cucumber slices and red onion (if using) to the dressing. Gently fold until evenly coated.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra dill or black pepper if desired.

Notes

Salting the cucumbers is essential to prevent a watery salad. For best results, chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. If making ahead, salt cucumbers and prepare dressing separately, then combine just before serving.
