Creamy Cucumber Salad Recipe: Dad's Delicious Summer Side Dish

Ingredients

• 2 large cucumbers, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1 sweet onion, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon sea salt
• 1.5 cups mayonnaise, or more to taste
• 2 tablespoons vinegar
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Collect all the necessary ingredients.
2. In a bowl, combine the cucumbers, onion, and salt. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to sit for 15 to 30 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
3. Transfer the cucumber mixture to a colander set over a bowl or sink. Let it drain, stirring occasionally, for 15 to 30 minutes, until most of the liquid and salt have been removed. Move the drained cucumber mixture to a large bowl.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, dill, garlic powder, and pepper until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
5. Pour the dressing over the cucumber mixture and stir gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.
6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
7. Serve and enjoy this refreshing cucumber salad!
