Cool, creamy, and bursting with flavor, Twisted Sisters Creamy Cucumber Salad is a delightful twist on a classic side dish that's perfect for any occasion. Crisp cucumber slices and sharp red onion rings are tossed in a luscious dressing made with tangy sour cream, velvety Greek yogurt, and a splash of white vinegar, all infused with the herby freshness of dill and a hint of sweetness. This no-cook recipe comes together in just 15 minutes, then chills to let the vibrant flavors meld beautifully. Ideal as a refreshing companion to grilled meats, summer barbecues, or light lunches, this cucumber salad is the ultimate blend of creamy and tangy perfection.
Wash and peel the cucumbers, leaving some skin on for texture if preferred.
Slice the cucumbers thinly using a knife or mandoline and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion, then separate the slices into rings. Add the onion to the bowl with the cucumbers.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the sour cream, Greek yogurt, white vinegar, dill, sugar, garlic powder, black pepper, and kosher salt until smooth and well combined.
Pour the creamy mixture over the cucumbers and onions. Toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. For best results, let it chill for 1-2 hours.
Before serving, give the salad a gentle toss and garnish with additional fresh dill if desired.
Serve cold and enjoy this creamy, tangy cucumber salad as a refreshing side dish!
