Cucumber in Sour Cream Salad

“Awesome!! I added some caraway seed to it as well, and sprinkled feta on top. Mmmmm! Very good. I will make this often for summer.”

“Very nice cucumber salad! I used 2 cucumbers and added some sunflower seeds right before serving for our taste, but followed the recipe as is otherwise. Thanks! Made for ZWT4 Zingo – Jefes de la Cocina!”

“Loved this simple salad. Very refreshing for a hot summer day. I did make a few very slight modifications. I used White Balsamic Vinegar because it is slightly sweeter than white vinegar (personal taste). I used quite a bit more tabasco sauce and pepper. I also had to resort to using dried chives and dill because that was what I had. I salted my cukes and let them rest in a colander in the fridge for a couple of hours instead of just 30 minutes. This goes in my ‘keeper’ file. Thanks.”

“This was just OK for us. I followed the recipe as written but we thought it needed some sugar as the mixture was too sour for our taste.”

“I used some green onions instead of chives and threw in a bit of minced garlic…delicious! I might try adding some feta as one of the reviewers suggested. Thank you for posting a terrific recipe.”

“This was so good! I wasn’t able to get the fresh chives, but used finely chopped green onion. I love the little bite that the Tabasco gave. Great recipe. Thanks Nora.”

“This was so delicious!I used two smaller cucumbers from the garden and half the amount of (dried) chives to suit our taste buds.I will be making this again as soon as more cukes ripen!Just like Grandma always made.”

“This was a hit – used fresh dill and chives and 3 varieties of cucumber from the garden.Also used light sour cream, and might substitute yogurt.I used more than 3 cups of cucumber – probably more like 5, and sliced about 1/4 inch.Worked just great.”

“I made this using Recipe #41929 in place of the sour cream for a more healthy side. I didn`t salt my cukes for I am watching my sodium intake.I used home grown dill seed and chives. Makes this a very fresh, cooling salad.”

“Very good. I was wary about this one. Usually we just eat cucumbers plain with a little salt. I’ve had cucumber salads before and haven’t cared for them but this one really hit the spot! Used 1/2 tsp dried dill. Will make this again for BBQs this summer. Be sure to let this sit for a while before eating!”

“Loved this! I added a little bit of sugar though – will make this a lot in summer”

“This cucumber salad was good with the fresh chives in it. I used English cucumber in it to avoid seeds but I think they are less watery than regular cucumbers so it made the salad a little thick. I might cut back on the sour cream next time or thin with a little milk. Otherwise it was quite nice and went very welll with my meal. Made for ZWT4 Family Picks for team Kumquat’s Kookin’ Kaboodles. Thanks for sharing. ~Sue”

“I love this little salad. It is very much the same as my Mom used to make with the addition of the Tabasco. Thanks for sharing your recipe. This was made for ZWT4.”

“yummy!i couldnt find the fresh chives so i substituted green onion tops…this came out good but next time i’ll half the sauce recipe. thanks! made for zwt4”

“Delicious salad and so easy to make.Made this as written, using two Lebanese cucumbers and several extra drops of Tabasco. Thoroughly enjoyed by everyone in the family. Yummo!”

“YUMMY! CREAMY FLAVORFUL REFRESHING! I used half of a long Armenian cucumber and half of the sauce ingredients. I had to use dried chives and dill but after sitting it was PERFECT. Made for the ZWT4- Jefes.”

“I scaled the recipe down a bit…..You must have HUGE cucumbers! I used a medium cucumber and did not have nearly three cups, so I reduced the sauce by half. There was still a lot of sauce – but that was a good thing, as it was Delicious…….Zaar World Tour 4”

“Yep yep yep This was great, Easy to make and better to eat. Made for Zingo ZWT4for the Chic Chefs”

“Refreshing summer salad which the whole family enjoyed.The chives and fresh dill are great additions.”

“This is a quick take on an old favorite. I like my cucumbers less firm, so next time will let them soak a little longer. Also, probably will increase the amount of Tabasco to give it a little more kick.”
