It’s hard to believe but gardening season will be winding down soon and Fall will be setting in. Sigh…summer seemed to just fly by this year.
Anyway, I’ve had an exceptionally great crop of cucumbers this past year and I’ve been busy canning several jars of pickles and of course whipping up some fresh cucumber salad. Today, I am sharing my recipe with all of you.
Creamy Cucumber Tomato Salad Recipe
2 medium sized cucumbers
2-3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 small container sour cream
1/8 cup of finely chopped onion
12 red cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
salt and pepper to taste
celery seed to taste
* Optional: Sprinkle some finely chopped fresh dill on top for garnishing.
Wash and Peel the skin off of your cucumbers and slice thin. Empty the contents of the sour cream container into a medium sized bowl. Stir in finely chopped onion, granulated sugar, salt, pepper and celery seed. Gently fold in your cucumber slices and then fold in the sliced cherry tomatoes. Seal the bowl and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavor to infuse into the cucumber slices. Serve cold.

I’ve never tried cucumber salad. I’ll have to try this recipe.
I do like creamy cucumber salad and I always add dill to mine.
A variation of this that my husband likes is:
Freshly chopped green bell peppers and slices of yellow tomatoes stirred into it.
This looks like a great way to use fresh cucumbers and tomatoes. This looks like a recipe my family would really enjoy.
My usual cucumber salad involves yogurt and mint. Your recipe will be a nice change from that. Fresh cukes are among my favorite things about summer, and I’m really going to miss them. Anyway, thanks for sharing your recipe.
This is really close to one of my Mom’s favorite salads. I think she’ll love this recipe!
I would try it with greek yogurt and sugar substitute for hubby.This recipe looks good
This is an interesting dish. I notice you added sugar, is this a sweet dish? I will need to five this a try. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Very yummy. I’d put the dill in the mixture instead of just on top.
I love this, so simple. The end of the really good tomatoes is coming and I don’t know how I will be able to stand it!
Looks and sounds refreshing!
What a delicious sounding Salad! I think I could eat the whole bowl myself! lol I will be pinning this one for sure!! Thankyou for sharing this awesome salad recipe~
Okay… this has my name written all over it! I have got to try this with my summer garden tomatoes.
Well this recipe just looks yummy and I love yogurt so would sub that for the sour cream. The salmonella contaminated cucumbers in the news make me wish I grew them myself, but just not possible in a tiny second floor city apartment. Thanks for the recipe.
