How Do You Make Creamy Cucumber and Onion Salad
Add a simple flavor like lemon or fresh herbs to elevate the flavor of the dish.
Helpful Tips to make Creamy Cucumber Salad:
- Cucumbers have a tendency to release a lot of liquid. To avoid a
watery salad you can prep your cukes ahead. Simply, place cucumbers in
serving dish. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Cover and refrigerate for 2
hours. Pour off the liquid (do not rinse). Do not add more salt. This
will be plenty. - You can prep the entire salad ahead of time and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve, up to one day in advance.
- Use freshly minced garlic instead of garlic powder, if desired. You can also use dried dill instead of fresh.
- Use lemon zest and squeezed lemon juice from a fresh lemon for the freshest flavor.
- You can use any combination of Greek yogurt, sour cream or mayonnaise for the dressing as long as the total amount is 1/2 cup.

Delicious – the whole family (including grandparents) loved it!! Thanks xoxo
We are so happy everyone enjoyed it!!!
We’re you able to get the video to play? All of Donna’s videos with the arrow on the left will not play for me. I think she’s only in it for the visits, never responding to complaints about this. If she didn’t have some excellent recipes I’d drop her like a bit potatoe
I make a similar salad, but not with the mayo, just sour cream. Ill have to try this version. Yummy.
Enjoy carol jane and let us know how it goes!
Is this a dish that’s better kept overnight or served fresh?
This was so delicious! Thank you!
I have an abundance of lemon cucumbers and other cucumbers in my garden and this recipe is a great way to use them up. I did not salt the cukes first. Crunchy creamy goodness!
This was amazing! Everyone loved it! Even the kids liked it (which was shocking!)
