What is it about summer that makes me want to eat all. the. salads.? Not just because salads are light and summery and the perfect addition to any meal...but because summer produce is my absolute favorite.

And to me, there's nothing more summery than fresh cucumbers.

We love sprinkling them with salt and pepper, eating them in salads, and adding them to sandwiches for an extra bit of crunch. And we especially love them in this Creamy Cucumber Salad!

There's something nostalgic about it - it's a recipe that's been around forever and a dish that most of us have probably enjoyed at family get togethers at one point or another.

I love it because it's such a simple salad, yet it's packed with so much flavor.

Between the crunchy cucumbers, the creamy sauce, and the fresh dill, this salad truly is no-fuss in every way. It's easy to make, perfect for prepping in advance, and it stores well in the fridge.

WHAT KIND OF CUCUMBERS ARE BEST FOR CUCUMBER SALAD?

You can feel free to use whatever kind of cucumbers you'd like in this recipe. Many people prefer English cucumbers in salads, since they tend to be sweeter and have fewer seeds than regular cucumbers. You can also use Persian cucumbers, which are smaller and tend to be sweeter and crunchier than the regular variety.

Yes, this salad can easily be made with Greek yogurt in place of sour cream. It can also be made with Ranch dressing, half and half, or a combination of Greek yogurt and mayo.

CAN YOU MAKE IT IN ADVANCE?

Yes. This salad tastes best when it's made at least 2 hours in advance and refrigerated to let the flavors combine. If you'd like to make it even further in advance, just slice and store the vegetables separately, then toss with the dressing just before serving.

HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?

This salad will last up to one week stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
