    Super light and refreshing, my cucumber salad with mayo and sour cream is cool, creamy deliciousness, y'all. English cucumbers, peeled and sliced. Then, mixed into the base that features pops of fresh dill and green onions, south Louisiana spices, vinegar, sugar, and roasted red peppers. Finally, tucked into the fridge til all of the different flavors combine harmoniously into one can't-stop-eating treat that just gets better the longer it sits in the fridge. Yep and yay...

    Cucumber salad with mayo and sour cream is a fun, festive, and delicious dish to display on your dinner, holiday, or potluck table.

    It's All About Those Simple Pleasures in Life, Y'all...

    The sizzling south Louisiana summer is now in full swing. And, just like every year, I'm looking for ways to cool down quickly with scrumptious chilled dishes that I can premake and eat whenever the heat wave washes over me. Yep.

    Usually, I turn to my trusty, time-tested veggie and seafood salads. But, this year, I've also been trying my hand at developing new favorites that are simple in preparation but highly sophisticated in flavor.

    So, once a hankering for fresh summer cukes came upon me, I figured it was high time that I create a creamy cucumber salad with mayo and sour cream. I love the double creaminess factor from the two fats. So, I capitalized on it by jazzing it up with some of my favorite spices, local vinegar, and fresh dill and green onions. 

    The result is a super creamy, tangy, and over-the-top delicious side or snack that's fancy enough for company. But, also very, very homey for those real-world times when you need something cold and quick on the ready. Indeed.
