What a very refreshing salad! I have tried cucumber salad with vinegar but I never thought that sour cream tastes better with it. If you are having fried chicken or any greasy meal, this is the perfect side dish to eat. My advice to you though is to slice the cucumbers thin so it can incorporate all the flavors very well. Also, I use English cucumbers because it has fewer seeds and more flavor. If you do not have it, you can still use a regular type of cucumber. Make your lunch or dinner extra special with this amazing recipe of salad. Enjoy!
