Instructions:
- Prepare the Vegetables:
- Start by washing the cucumbers and tomatoes thoroughly.
- Slice the cucumbers thinly. If you prefer, you can peel them partially for a striped look or completely for a smoother texture.
- Dice the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces.
- Peel and thinly slice the red onion.
- Combine the Vegetables:
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, diced tomatoes, and sliced onions. Toss them together gently to ensure an even mix.
- Make the Creamy Dressing:
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, white vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper.
- If you’re using fresh dill, chop it finely and add it to the dressing. The dill adds a burst of freshness and enhances the flavors of the vegetables.
- Mix the Salad:
- Pour the creamy dressing over the vegetables.
- Using a large spoon or spatula, gently toss the vegetables until they are well-coated with the dressing. Make sure the dressing is evenly distributed throughout the salad.
- Chill and Serve:
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour before serving. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld together and the vegetables to absorb the creamy dressing.
- Before serving, give the salad a final toss to redistribute the dressing.
- Enjoy:
- Serve the Cucumber, Tomato, and Onion Creamy Salad chilled as a side dish with your favorite summer meals. It pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken, burgers, or as a refreshing complement to a hearty sandwich.
Tips for the Perfect Salad
- Fresh Ingredients: Use the freshest cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions you can find. Fresh vegetables will provide the best texture and flavor.
- Customize the Dressing: Adjust the sweetness and acidity of the dressing to your liking. If you prefer a tangier salad, add a bit more vinegar. For a sweeter taste, increase the sugar slightly.
- Herb Variations: While dill is a classic addition, you can experiment with other herbs like parsley, basil, or chives for different flavor profiles.
