Description

The dressing for this savory cucumber salad recipe uses sour cream as a base rather than mayonnaise for a creamy side dish seasoned with dill and paprika.

Ingredients

3 large cucumbers, sliced
1/8 teaspoon salt, or as needed
1 1/4 cups sour cream
3/4 bunch green onions (white and pale green parts only), chopped
1/4 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 cloves garlic, or more to taste, minced
1/4 teaspoon dried dill weed
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

1 Spread a paper towel on a large platter; arrange cucumber slices in a single layer on the paper towel. Sprinkle ⅛ teaspoon salt over cucumber slices; refrigerate 2 to 6 hours.
2 Meanwhile, combine sour cream, green onions, sugar, vinegar, garlic, dill, paprika, black pepper, and remaining ⅛ teaspoon salt in a medium bowl; refrigerate 1 to 4 hours.
3 Transfer cucumbers to a large serving bowl; pour sour cream dressing over cucumbers and stir gently to coat.
