My mom always served this sweet-tart cucumber recipe with her Hungarian Chicken Paprika. The sauce is creamy and the cucumbers have a nice crunch. —Pamela Eaton, Monclova, Ohio

The sugar in this recipe is unnecessary. Be sure to salt and pepper it. My family has eaten it that way for close to 80 years, at every Easter and spring/summer get together. Don't be afraid to add a higher ratio of dressing to cukes either.:)

I meant to say I'd add maybe two to three tablespoons of mayo. I was thinking there was more sour cream than on half a cup, so I'd wouldn't cut down on the sour cream.
I edited my other post......it didn't seem to go through, so I added another message. Now I see it was edited, so disregard anything else beside the first post!
<p>I've had cucmbers in sour cream in the past that were delicious so I tried this recipe. They were very good, but seemed to be lacking a little something, so I added some vegan mayonnaise-type dressing and a little fresh ground pepper. That did the trick! When I make them again, I'll probably add maybe two tablespoons of the vegan mayo. Regular mayonnaise could also be used. These seem to taste even better when they've sat in the refrigerator for a couple of days!</p>

My mother in law used to make this recipe for years however, she never put sugar or onions in it. I haven't tried this recipe yet but plan on making it soon. My mother in law used to make it with luttuce too.

The Danish recipe my mother made called for very thinly slice cucumbers. sprinkle some salt on and let sit for 10 min. rinse and squeeze out the water.She makes a marinde of 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup white vinegara, and 1/4 cup sugar. They are then marinading in this for several hours. It's delicious with hamburgers.

I have made this recipe for years. I use 1/2 sour cream and 1/2 Miracle Whip, no vinegar, no sugar or pepper. Use regular onions, thin sliced. Marinate for about a day. Serve in bowl with marinate. Very good

I have had a similar recipe from my Granny. In her recipe you salt the sliced cukes liberally and let drain in a colandar for at least 30 minutes. Drain and RINSE well. No need to add more salt! I slice my cukes in a food processor so they are very thin. That is the secret to this recipe. Great with BBQ.

My mother made this and now I have made it, for years, for my family. I haven't ever added the vinigar to it though. It's a very good salad with garden fresh cucumbers and I have even added tomatoes to it.

I have been making this for years, but I use some fat free Italian dressing instead of so much vinegar and sugar.

I make this without the vinegar nd sugar. Just sour cream, salt and pepper, pickling cucumbers if available and red onion. Always a favorite - especially the next day.

I always use English Cukes as they do not leave that bitter taste. also sometimes I omit the sour cream, using the vingear. turns out a bit different but still good.

I always use tarragon for the spice. It gives it a wonderful taste.

My Hungarian husband makes the cumcumber salad like this and he sprinkles paprika on top.I case you see this post,would you please give us your recipe for the Chicken Paprikas ?

I did like this salad. I loved the dill idea and added some. Just a hint on taking the bitterness out of a cucumber. slice one end off the cucumber rub the end and cucumber until a frothy foam apears. Do the same to the other end. Rinse off and your cucumbers are not bitter. I just don't like adding the extra salt.
