Easy and delicious! I was a bit skeptical because I'm used to using sour cream but I wanted to give this a try. I cut the recipe in half and used Hellman's light mayo and white wine vinegar. I added a bit of dill and this was enough dressing for a large cucumber and some thin sliced onion.
We used to buy the most wonderful cucumber salad at a local deli but when it closed we were unable to find anything like it. I tried to replicate it with sour cream but it wasn't right. This is close to it! I used this recipe and it was enough for 2 large cukes. I also added dried dill and sliced vidalia onion. Thanks for the recipe it is sitting in the fridge...I can't waint until dinner time.
My mother not only added thinly sliced onions but she'd soak them most of the day or overnight in brine (salt/water) solution and then drain rinse and squeeze out the liquid and then continue with the recipe sometimes creamy and other times with just the vinegar/sugar. Guess it depended on her mood or what we were having for dinner either way..it's comfort food to me!
My grandma used to make a cucumber salad that I loved when I was a kid. After she passsed away I tried to duplicate it but it never turned out. OH MY!!!! THIS IS IT!!! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR POSTING.
I've never before been a fan of cucumbers, but after making this recipe I'm now a convert. I did increase the amount of sugar, salt, pepper, and vinegar (I used apple cider vinegar), and I sliced up 3 cucumbers as opposed to the one that was called for. I also added some dried dill. Truly wonderful.
I was so excited when I found this recipe on here. My grandmas used to always make this when I was young. Its a family favorite. Simple yet deliscious!
So THIS is how Aunt Della made her cucumbers n' cream!! I always used sour cream and it never was as good and now I know why! Thanks for the memories GEEKSWIFE1
I added a bit more vinegar and a sweet onion. AMAZING!
Mmmm so good! I am used to sour cream dressings but this was wonderful! I cut the dressing in half for one cuke and it was plenty. Quick and easy thanks for sharing!
My husband and I did not like this. I followed the recipe as stated and the mayonaisse was too overpowering.
