Creamy Cucumber Salad


Friends of ours invited us over for dinner, along with some other friends. Mike made an excellent Hungarian pork and sauerkraut goulash (https://www.craftycookingmama.com/pork-and-sauerkraut-goulash-szekelygulyas-hungarian-goulash/  Note that he did not include the green bell pepper).  

I found this recipe, which I would go very well with the main dish:

It was a hit! Everyone loved this salad.

Ingredients
  
1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1 teaspoon granulated sugar optional
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper
2 large English cucumbers thinly sliced
1/4 red onion thinly sliced
 
Instructions
 
In a medium bowl, mix the sour cream, vinegar, dill sugar, and garlic powder until well combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
 
Add the sliced cucumbers and red onions on top of the sour cream dressing and stir to coat.
Serve immediately at room temperature or refrigerate for one hour before serving.
 
My Notes:
 
I made this 24 January 2025.
 
I used 3 cucumbers, placed on paper towels, salted, and covered to release excess water.
 

I soaked the sliced onions in ice cold water for 15-20 minutes.



I made this for eight people. There was just a small amount leftover. 
 
Serves 6 to 8.

This week’s deals at Aldi are surprisingly good, so I’m glad I checked the aldi weekly ad this week before heading to the store. I scored some amazing discounts on produce, frozen items, and a few household basics. What I like is that they change it up every week with new items you won’t usually find. It keeps things interesting and helps me stay on budget. If you haven’t seen the ad yet, definitely take a look—it’s available online and super easy to navigate. It’s one of the easiest ways to save without clipping coupons or downloading extra apps.

Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts

  About two months ago, I purchased an air fryer from Costco. It was $50. Good deal! I've been using it 3-4 times weekly.  I roast Bruss...
