I loved how simple this was and didn't taste simple. I didn't use fatfree anything. If you don't use fatfree this is a pretty carb friendly dish.

Simple and delicious! Sometimes the most basic ingredients combine to be some of the best tasting. I love cucumber salads and they make a nice light side dishes. Be sure to drain the liquid out of the cucumbers so you don't have a watery, "soggy" salad. I used reduced fat sour cream as fat free usually has an aftertaste that's a bit unpleasant. I let it chill for a couple of hours and it was very "cool" and very good. It reminds me of my Grandma Jean's cucumber salad - Thanks!

We love this! I have been preparing/eating this for many years. This is the way my great-grandma, grandma and mom prepared cucumbers and sour cream. The simplicity is perfect. I do use regular sour cream and sweet onion. Thanks for sharing!

This recipe goes much better with vinegar and a dash of sugar. Great!

I've made this recipe (sort of) since I was a kid! We didnt dry the cukes though, sliced em, salted em, tossed the onions in and let it marinate for a few hours in the fridge. Drain and rinse em then stir in Miracle Whip and a few tablespoons of pickle juice (or vinegar I guess). They end up creamy and tangy!! If you slice them really thin they get mushy, I like mine thicker so they've got a good bite to em!

My grandma made this, too! She would sometimes add just a couple tsp. of white vinegar or fresh dill if she thought about it. It's good as is, especially fresh from your own garden.

I liked this very much. I found it to be a welcome change from the usual vinegar flavor that so many use to cover the taste of cucumber. I did add a touch of dill. I'll make this again. Thanks

This is exactly how my mom used to make it except we would chop the onion instead of slicking it and make it "pretty" by dusting it with paprika before serving. It is cool, crunchy, and EASY to throw together. It is all about personal taste though and what you grew up with. Sometimes I just want something simple, and this does it for me :) Plus, it is a great memory of my mother! But I saw someone write that they soak the cucumbers and onions in salt water overnight until they are limp.. WHY? Why would you want it limp? I like it crunchy!

I soaked cucumbers and onions overnight in salt water....added fresh dill and when I put 3/4 of the sour cream in it was way too much...all I tasted was sour cream...
