Polish Cucumber Salad

My Polish grandparents made this cold, creamy and tangy side dish regularly during cucumber season, using fresh cucumbers from their garden. And it tastes even better the next day. You will love this refreshing salad paired with any main dish. 


Ingredients

3 cucumbers, peeled and sliced very thinly
2 t. Salt
1 t. pepper
1/3 C. onion, minced (any onion is good, or use 1 T. dried-minced onion, or 2 t. onion powder)
½ C. sour cream
¼ C. apple cider vinegar
1/3 C. sugar

Instructions

Into a medium bowl put the peeled and thinly sliced cucumbers. Sprinkle with 2 t. salt and toss to evenly coat the cucumbers. Let them set for about 10 minutes to allow the cucumbers to give up some of their liquid. Drain the excess liquid by pressing the cucumbers to the side of the bowl with your fingers and tip the liquid out.

Now to the bowl add pepper, onion, sour cream, vinegar and sugar. Mix with a spoon and taste to adjust the seasonings, if needed. Serve.
