Nothing beats a creamy cucumber salad made with garden fresh cucumbers in summer.
Since I picked our very first cucumbers of the season, I knew it was time to share this classic cucumber onion salad recipe with you.
CREAMY CUCUMBER SALAD WITH MAYO
Of all the salads we make and enjoy in the summer, this is the one my kids ask for most often.
I love this recipe because it is very versatile. You can add green onions instead of the chives and white onions or you can use sour cream instead of yogurt.
If you want to try something unique, try adding 1-2 oz of Feta cheese, it will not disappoint.

This is one of my favorite salads (I make one with a slight variation – no mayo!) to use garden cucumbers and herbs 🙂

This recipe sounds very similar to what I grew up with – except the Ukrainian version used sour cream.
