Creamy Cucumbers and Onions Recipe

If there is one recipe that takes me back to my childhood, it is this creamy cucumbers and onions recipe. Growing up, it would be a side dish at almost every meal

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cucumbers peeled and thinly sliced
  • 8 oz sour cream full-fat is best, although you can use light sour cream as well. Don't use fat-free sour cream
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup white vinegar
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Place sliced cucumbers in a bowl of cold salted water and allow to sit for at least an hour.
  2. Drain the water from the cucumbers and return to the bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, vinegar and sugar until smooth.
  4. Pour mixture over cucumbers and toss to coat.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
  6. Add salt & pepper to taste.
