A couple of additions. One great ingredient is fresh onions. Simply slice an onion very thinly, as many slices as you prefer. Another is to add a little garlic powder. Finally, you can then top with chopped green onion to taste. A very refreshing summer salad.

We love cucumber and sour cream salads and this one did not disappoint us. I used one English cucumber and dried dill. Nicely flavored with just a bit of sweetness and we enjoyed the addition of the dill. Thank you for sharing your recipe Natalia #3! Made and reviewed for October Photo Challenge : Northern Mediterranean hosted by Lorrie in Montreal.

Excellent recipe. Only gave it 4 instead of 5 stars because I thought it had too much sour cream for the amount of cucumber. For one cup, I used 2 whole large cucumbers and thought it was plenty 'dressed.' Also, I think the dill is required, not optional. I used fresh dill chopped finely, and put in 2 tablespoons. 1 Tbsp was not enough, but perhaps if you are using dried it might be sufficient.

Made for the Best of 2008 cookbook game, this cuke salad reminded me of my great-uncle Emil (Czech) as we often had 1 a bit like it growing up. I liked this better w/its hint of sweetness. I had to use dried dill & ended up halving the amt of sour cream as I started w/that amt & found it plenty for us. We liked this a lot, but missed the flavor & texture produced by adding thinly sliced red onion. This will be repeated w/the chgs mentioned. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us.

I grew up eating this salad and I love it. I usually don't add the dill but I did this time and I always add a little minced onion for flavor. This recipe is great even before I've marinated it. I used a little less sour cream due to other reviewers suggestions but it would be fine with the suggested amount. I think it depends whether you like a lot or a little. I happen to think the more sour cream the better!

We omit the sugar and add freshly ground black pepper and a good amount of thinly sliced onion. I don't always add the lemon juice, either, as I like a thicker "dressing". I never really measure, but I do think I use a bit more cucumber for this amount of sour cream. Definitely tastes better if allowed to chill for a bit so the flavors have time to marry a bit. Very cool and refreshing!
