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).

This is the only way I'll eat cucumbers! I usually add minced shallots, garlic and mint. Great salad for summer!

After reading the reviews, I, too, used sour instead of heavy cream. Good if you need a quick side using on-hand ingredients.

Perfect easy salad chilled for summer. Great after a hot day!! We loved it. Also great to make ahead of time and stick it in the frige. I used heavy whipping cream, not sour cream. Mixing it with the vinager gave it the "sour cream" taste, but I added a bit more cream to take some of the tangyness out of it which made it more saucy than creamy. But still great!

This is really delicious with almost any sandwich, burgers, brats, etc. I used sour cream, as I assume was intended. I mixed the cucumber slices with close to a teaspoon of salt and let them drain for about an hour before adding the other ingredients. I also used white wine vinegar and about 1/2 teaspoon dried dill. Be sure to chill well. Almost addictive!

This was just OK - I used sour cream which I think this recipe meant to call for. I would add some onions if I made it again.

My grandmother and mother made a recipe almost like this for years and I continue to make it. The only difference is we add sugar (approx. 1 teas. for every couple of tablespoons of vinegar). I slice the cucumbers very thin using my mandoline slicer and then add the sour cream, vinegar, sugar, s&p, and mix it all together. The addition of dill sounds great! I'll have to try it next time I make this. My husband loves this served over mashed potatos.

This was definitely not what I expected. I don't believe heavy cream and cucumbers are meant to go together. I'm not saying it was awful, but I think I only had about two bites. Not too great.
