Notes
Substitutions
- You can use Hellman's Mayo or Unflavored Greek Yogurt to substitution for sour cream - keep in mind a mayo will be tangy and change the flavor and Greek yogurt tends to be thicker -
- Instead of straight sour cream, you could also do 1/4th cup sour cream and 1/4th cup Hellmann's
- If you cannot find English cucumbers, you can use 2 regular cucumbers - they just tend to be fatter - still super tasty!

Will this recipe work with a sugar substitute?
Trisha says
I have never used a sugar substitute on this cucumber salad, so I cant say for sure, but I dont see why not. I used one in my broccoli salad recipe and it was totally fine (it was monkfruit sweetner)
Dana says
I used equal instead of sugar and Mayonnaise instead of sour cream and it is wonderful!
