Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Cucumber Salad Delight.
Step 1
Begin by placing sliced cucumbers, sweet onion, and a sprinkle of sea salt into a spacious bowl.
Step 2
Mix everything thoroughly and cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
Step 3
Let this mixture rest for 15 to 30 minutes; this step is crucial as it helps draw out excess moisture from the vegetables.
Step 4
After the resting period, transfer the cucumber and onion blend to a colander positioned over a bowl or in the sink.
Step 5
Allow it to drain, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has been released, which should take another 15 to 30 minutes.
Step 6
Once drained, move the cucumber and onion mixture back into a large mixing bowl.
Step 7
In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, dill, garlic powder, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
Step 8
Pour this delightful dressing over the cucumber mixture and gently stir until every piece is well coated.
Step 9
Cover the salad with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours; this chilling time allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 10
When ready to serve, enjoy your refreshing creamy cucumber salad chilled, perfect for any occasion!.
