    If you made this Creamy Cucumber Salad I would love to hear what you thought! Please leave a star rating and a comment below. This is one of my favorite easy summer side dishes and I hope it becomes one of yours too!

    Storage

    Store this creamy cucumber salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The cucumbers will release some liquid as the salad sits which is completely normal. Give it a good stir before serving to redistribute the dressing. I do not recommend freezing this salad as the cucumbers will become mushy and the creamy dressing does not hold up well to freezing.

    Top Tip

    I recommend using English cucumbers for this recipe because they have very small seeds and thin skin that does not need to be peeled. If you are using regular garden cucumbers or a variety with larger seeds scoop out the seeds before slicing so the salad does not become watery or bitter.

    You can also salt the cucumbers lightly and let them drain in a colander for 20 to 30 minutes before adding the dressing if you want an even crispier salad with less liquid.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How much vinegar do you put in a cucumber salad?

    I used 2 tablespoons in this recipe. I don't like to add too much vinegar because I don't want to add a lot of liquid to the salad.

    What vinegar goes with cucumbers?

    I think white vinegar or apple cider vinegar are both delicious with cucumbers. For this recipe I used white vinegar, but you could also use apple cider vinegar if that's what you have.
