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.
