This is a wonderful dish to serve at summer BBQ's, picnics or even an everyday dinner. It is a creamy and cool salad for those hot summer days.
1 medium cucumber, sliced 1/8 inch thick
3/4 t. salt
1/2 c. sour cream
3 T. mayonnaise or Miracle Whip
2 T. finely chopped fresh dill
1 T. white wine vinegar
1⁄2 t. white sugar
1/4 t. freshly ground black pepper
Place a colander or fine-mesh strainer over a large bowl. Place the cucumbers and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt in it; toss to combine. Keep at room temperature for 1 hour.
Under running water, rinse the cucumbers, remove all excess salt.
Line a work surface with 1 layer of paper towels. Using your hands, remove the cucumbers from the strainer and arrange them in a flat, even layer on the paper towels, top with another layer of paper towels, and gently press to absorb any moisture. Discard the liquid in the bowl and wipe it dry.
Combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, herbs, vinegar, pepper, sugar and remaining salt in the bowl. Add the cucumbers and stir.
Serve cold.
Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
