Linda Sanders
was almost the same as Moms bot we use green onions or scallions and a dash of sugar

Absolutely loved it!! I only had one English cucumber and no fresh dill or any fresh herbs. I sub’d the dill with dried herbs: oregano, parsley & basil. Super easy & quick. Plus great low calorie side or snack. Definitely saving this recipe. Easy way to jazz up a cucumber.

I made this several times to serve with fish. Followed the recipe, turned out delicious each time. I love the hint of red onion, too.

This is similar to my Polish mother’s recipe. I peel the cukes and cut them in half and cut each half again. I then slice away the seeds [they are what repeats on you} and cut the remains into somewhat half-moon slices. Everyone loves the sour cream dressing instead of the mayo vinegar one.

I made it with Tofutti non-dairy sour cream. Yummy!
Ricky Phelps
Super simple, delicious! I used dried dill weed and non-fat greek yogurt.
Randy Ortega
Hi, Very refreshing salad. I replaced dill with finely chopped parsley and chives.
Caroline Johnson
i added a bit more sour cream and instead of using fresh dill i used dried dill to give it more flavor
Lawrence Conley
Thank you for sharing this refreshing recipe. The lemon juice adds the perfect tanginess and is a great vinegar replacement. Grandmas’ recipes are always winners.
Christina Mcmahon
Very good & simple. I substituted 1/2 of the sour cream with greek yogurt.
James Hernandez
Very light and refreshing salad. I followed the recipe exactly. As suggested, I did double everything in the dressing because the store bought cucumbers were larger. My family really enjoyed it.
Joseph Scott
Very, very good recipe for those who love cold cucumbers … and so easy and quick!
Tracy Patel
I made this recipe exactly as written, and it was excellent; my husband loved it! It is exactly as another reviewer wrote, often the simplest recipes are the best. A terrific summer salad!

This didn’t wow me so won’t be making again. Something has to wow me to keep the recipe…I have so many!
Calvin Russo
Perfect!

I’ve been making this for years, except I use plain yogurt instead of the sour cream. Whenever I take this to a picnic, church dinner, or anywhere else, I’m always asked for the recipe.
Jamie Mccullough
Easy to make and had a great taste! My husband loves this.
Carrie Dixon
My family and I love this recipe, it was fun any easy to make we used the veg’s from our garden and added some tomatoes ( they need to be used ) . We also loved that it was made with sour cream and not mayo .
Jeremy Salazar
The cucumber salad was light & refreshing. The fresh dill gave it a summery taste. I would definitely make it again.
Nicole Camacho
I’ve always liked cuke salad with sour cream but my Honey has not. He actually liked this one as did I. Will make again and again! Thanks for helping me win him over to my side.

Delish! Used lemon cucumbers, dried dill (1/2) and lemon juice (1/2). Really good and easy to modify.
