Crisp Cucumber Salad

Enjoy the tastes of summer year-round with this fresh-tasting crisp cucumber salad. It’s got a touch of sweetness that really complements the tangy vinegar.

Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2 medium cucumbers, peeled and thinly sliced (see Tip)
• 4 scallions, thinly sliced
• 1/2 small red pepper, chopped
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the cucumbers, scallions, and red pepper.
    
2. In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and pour over the cucumber mixture. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours before tossing and serving.

Tip

I like to peel the cucumbers for this salad, but you can also use them unpeeled, or run a fork down them before slicing to give them a fancy, ridged look.
