Title: CREAMY CUCUMBER SALAD
Post by: Joe in T.C. on Jun 19, 2023, 04:41 PM
This is a summer family favorite.

What you will need:

2 Large hothouse cucumbers seeded and sliced. (Use 3 if they run small)
¼ cup white vinegar
¾ cup thinly sliced red onion
½ Cup sour cream
½ cup Miracle Whip (Mayo works but grandma said to use Miracle Whip)
½ cup Philadelphia cream cheese
1 tsp dried dill
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper

Slice cucumbers about ¼” thick.
Add cucumbers slices to a colander.
Add salt and toss well so cucumbers are coated.
Put in the sink and let stand for at least an hour to allow some liquid to drain off.

Thanks for sharing, I’ll have to give it a try. I normally just mix sour cream, pepper and white vinegar to a consistency I like, then add mandolin sliced cukes
