Buttermilk Cucumber Salad
Cucumbers, red onions and dill in a creamy buttermilk and yogurt dressing.
Ingredients
- 2 Medium-sized cucumbers sliced thin
- 1/2 Small red onion sliced thin
- 3-4 tbsp Chopped fresh dill
- 1/2 cup Buttermilk
- 1/2 cup Plain greek yogurt or mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp sugar
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt for the dressing
- 1 tbsp kosher salt for salting cucumbers
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Place sliced cucumbers in a strainer and toss with the 1 tbsp of salt. Let sit over a bowl or in the sink for 20 minutes to drain off excess water.
- I like to soak my red onions in ice water for 5 minutes to remove some of the pungency and soften the flavor. However, since soaking too long will dilute the flavor, soaking in cold water for 5 to 10 minutes is recommended.
- In a bowl whisk the sugar, vinegar, buttermilk, yogurt, dill, salt, and pepper.
- Drain and add the onions.
- After 20 minutes rinse the cucumbers well in cold water and drain.
- Add the cucumbers and toss.
- Let sit a minimum of 30 minutes and serve cold.
