Description
A refreshing and flavorful salad combining crisp cucumbers and savory bacon, dressed in a creamy sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large cucumbers
- 4 strips of bacon
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh dill for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook your bacon strips until they reach a perfect crispness, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess grease on paper towels and crumble into bite-sized pieces.
- Slice the cucumbers: Thinly slice the cucumbers using a knife and cutting board for even thickness.
- Combine onion and bacon: In a large mixing bowl, add the sliced cucumbers and onions, then sprinkle the crumbled bacon on top.
- Prepare the dressing: Whisk together sour cream, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl until well combined.
- Combine and toss: Pour the dressing over the cucumber mixture and gently toss until coated.
- Garnish: Sprinkle fresh dill on top if desired.
- Serve chilled: Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavors.
Notes
For best results, let ingredients reach room temperature before assembling. Prepare bacon and dressing the day before for maximum freshness.
