Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoon sour cream
  • ½ tsp. sugar
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 2 medium sized cucumbers

Instructions

  • Peel the cucumbers if desired and thinly slice them with a mandoline slicer. The thinner the better!
  • Place the cucumbers in a colander and salt them...generously.
  • Cover the cucumbers with paper towel and place the colander over a bowl to allow the cucumbers to drain the excess water for at least 2 hours.
  • Squeeze the cucumbers to remove any excess water...you want them as dry as possible.
  • Add the cucumbers to a bowl and prepare dressing.
  • Combine all the ingredients for the dressing in a small bowl and then pour over the cucumbers. Toss gently to combine.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.

Notes

Cook Time is actually how long to refrigerate until serving.  You want to serve this cucumber salad cold.
