Notes

  • Serves 5-6 side portions.
  • Use the freshest ingredients. Choose the freshest cucumbers for the best crunch. Keep the skin on for extra texture.
  • Creamiest dressing. For a smooth dressing, let your sour cream or yogurt warm up. This makes it silky.
  • Flavor development. Let your salad chill in the fridge for a bit. This lets all the flavors mix and get better.
  • Onion prep. Don't like the strong taste of raw onions? Soak them in cold water first. This trick makes them milder.
