Ingredients

Scale

Salad Ingredients

  • 1 cup dill pickles, chopped
  • 2 cups cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped

Creamy Dressing

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Chop Ingredients: Begin by finely chopping the dill pickles and slicing the cucumbers thinly. Also, chop the fresh dill finely to ensure its flavors are evenly distributed in the salad.
  2. Mix with Dressing: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped pickles, cucumbers, and dill. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and gently toss to coat everything evenly.
  3. Chill Before Serving: Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill thoroughly. Serve cold for the best taste and crunch.

Notes

  • For a lighter dressing, substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise and sour cream.
  • Add chopped red onions or fresh chives for extra flavor.
  • This salad pairs wonderfully as a side with grilled meats or sandwiches.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
