Dill Cucumber Salad with Sour Cream Dressing. Creamy, delicious dill dressing turns ordinary cucumbers into a feast.

Creamy, dreamy. Dill Cucumber Salad with Onion. A family favorite.

Dill Cucumber Salad is a summertime favorite.

Smothered in sour cream sauce, Aunt Betty's Dill Cucumber Salad is refreshing and a beautiful addition to any meal. Simple to make, too. Smothered in a dill sauce made with sour cream, mayonnaise, dill and a little vinegar, it is scrumptious and only a little tangy.

It's much different than my mom's cucumber salad. When Mom made a Cucumber and Onion Salad, she made a vinegar-sugar tangy vinaigrette. It's terrific. I make both of these salads during the summer when cucumbers are abundant.

Betty was my first husband's maiden aunt. She was at all the family gatherings, lived at home with her mom, Grandma Lol (who was sweet as a peach and always had something fun to say), and worked in a government job for Social Security. I always looked forward to Aunt Betty's contribution to the family meal. It was a staple at our family gatherings. I have re-created it and this recipe tastes exactly like Betty's.

Betty was a genuinely loving woman, and she helped me buy our first Irish Terrier puppy as a Christmas gift for my husband. Sean was the cutest little dog, but it took me 24 weeks of dog training for him to look at me like, "Huh? You talking to me???" Needless to say, he was challenging. Have you had a pet like that?

Until I married my first husband (who was cute and a bit challenging as well), I had never had a creamy cucumber salad. I'm glad I had the opportunity to learn how to make this salad.

What You Need

This salad is simple. You need a knife, cutting board, measuring cups and spoons and a wire whisk. Buy the best kitchen tools you can afford, and you'll never be sorry.
