This refreshing salad combines crisp, thinly sliced cucumbers and ripe, juicy tomatoes with delicate red onion, all enveloped in a rich, creamy dressing. Fresh dill adds an aromatic herbaceous note, complementing the cool vegetables. The dressing, a blend of tangy and savory elements, coats each ingredient, creating a harmonious balance of flavors and a delightful texture that is both smooth and crisp.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large English cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 3–4 ripe Roma tomatoes, cut into wedges or sliced
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onion.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), fresh dill, white vinegar (or lemon juice), sugar (if using), salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  3. Pour the creamy dressing over the vegetables. Gently toss until all ingredients are evenly coated.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill.

Notes

For a less watery salad, lightly salt the sliced cucumbers and let them sit for 15-20 minutes, then pat dry with paper towels before adding to the salad.

Adjust the amount of sugar and vinegar to your preference for a sweeter or tangier dressing.

This salad is best served fresh and chilled. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

For an extra pop of flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder to the dressing.
