Taste and texture galore — Chock full of crunchy cucumbers, zesty red onion, and the creamy tanginess of sour cream, mayo, and herbs, plus a bit of honey sweetness and citrus, this salad has the most perfect texture and taste, you’ll be coming back for seconds…and thirds! Perfect use of fresh summer veggies — When summer rolls around and the cucumbers in my garden or at the farmers market are at their peak, I immediately start thinking about how I use them all up in all the foods, and this creamy cucumber salad is top-of-mind, every time. Simple ingredients — In addition to cucumbers, this recipe also uses red onion, sour cream, mayo, lemon juice, honey, and a few herbs and spices that you probably have in your spice drawer right now. Just slice, mix, and devour — easy!
Use plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Skip the mayo and use Greek yogurt or just sour cream. Add smoked, grilled, or just plain old frozen corn (off the cob) into the mix for a touch of sweetness. Skip the dill or swap it for another herb you love. Change the red onions for white, yellow, or green or leave them out and sub in another veggie like some diced bell peppers, corn, or shaved carrots. Add some lemon zest if you like a little more lemon to your cucumber salad. Instead of garlic powder, try minced or crushed garlic. If you like a more tart salad, leave out the honey.
