I love the simplicity of this dish. I didn't realize you could make such delicious sour cream that way!!! Whenever I'm out and I need a substitute, I now have a recipe!!! Love the combination of flavors. I would think this would be great over salmon, too!

Fantastic! This is a really simple recipe, and different from other cucumber salads I've had in the past. The only change I made was using about four or five fresh sprigs of dill and I added garlic powder. I'll bet chopped water chestnuts would make a great addition as well. Also, I let it chill for about four hours to let the flavors blend. Yummy and it is on my low carb diet!!!

I'd been looking for a recipe like my grandmother's, and this is VERY close. She would slice the cucumber into thin rounds and press them overnight to remove the moisture. She also added sliced onions and let the entire mixture sit for several hours to allow the flavours to combine.

Fresh, simple, & delicious. Paired very well with BBQ-grilled Bratswurst, although it would go with almost anything, esp. spicy, grilled foods.Than ks for a recipe, to use again and again!

Just like I remember Mom's. I added fresh parsley & used fresh dill instead of dried. Great way to use up all my cukes. Thanks for a great submission!

For those who are changing the recipe to what they think the submitter intended, the "sour cream" comes from the combination of vinegar (sour) and heavy cream (cream). Cream can be soured with all sorts of things, including vinegar. The person who posted this uses the words "cream" or "heavy cream" 4 times, it's unlikely to be a typo. Give it a shot as written (it's pretty good).
