Simple Cucumber Dill Salad

Our go-to side dish with Hungarian paprika chicken, this cucumber dill salad with sour cream is a classic in Central and Eastern Europe. It pairs well with a variety of dishes like chicken rissoles, cabbage pie, and salmon fish cakes.

Sliced cucumbers provide a cool and crunchy base, while fresh dill adds a fragrant and slightly sweet note. The sour cream brings a creamy and tangy element that coats the cucumbers perfectly, balancing their crunch with a smooth texture. Seasoned just right with salt and pepper, this salad enhances the flavors of the cucumber and dill without overpowering them.

Light, clean, and with a creamy dressing that adds depth without heaviness, this cucumber salad is the perfect accompaniment to any meal. Plus, it’s gluten-free, low-carb, and keto-friendly.

How To Make Cucumber Dill Salad

You’ll need the following ingredients:

• Cucumbers – Lebanese or continental/telegraph cucumbers work well in this recipe. Lebanese cucumbers are shorter and slightly sweeter.
• Sour cream – Regular sour cream is recommended, but you can also use light or lower-fat options. Greek yogurt or thickened cream with lemon juice are good substitutes. For a dairy-free version, try mayonnaise!
• Salt and pepper – Freshly ground black pepper is best for this recipe.
• Dill – Use fresh dill for the best flavor, as dried dill won’t provide the same taste.

Simply slice the cucumbers, season with salt, and then mix with sour cream, pepper, and dill. Serve fresh and enjoy!
