Creamy Cucumber Salad with Dill and Red Onion: The Cool, Crisp Classic

In a bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayo, vinegar, dill, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust — it should be creamy with a slight tang and that unmistakable dill aroma.

4. COMBINE & CHILL

Toss cucumbers and onions with the dressing until evenly coated. Chill for at least 20 minutes to let the flavors meld.

5. SERVE COLD

Garnish with extra dill or a pinch of pepper, and serve cold. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats, sandwiches, or even as a topping for baked potatoes.


💡 Storage & Make-Ahead Tips

  • Make ahead: Best served the day it’s made, but you can prep the dressing and veggies separately and mix right before serving.
  • Storing leftovers: Keep in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Stir before serving.
