This is similar to my mother’s recipe. She sent bed it alongside with green beans! Yum: Great side dish to take this a church potluck.

Very good but don’t see any reason for salting the cucumbers. They were way too salty. I had to rinse the salt off before mixing. Definitely will make again but next time no salt.

The salt also removes any green bitter taste in the cucumbers as well as releasing releasing excess water Rinse well before mixing

The salt helps release the water in the cucumber or the salad will be very watery when combined. Just rinse after salting.

Can I use ranch instead?
Colt1969 3 years ago
Sometimes I use Greek yogurt instead.
Ger 3 years ago
It will taste very different as the ranch has seasonings in it. The Crème Fraîche is more like sour cream. It has a tartness. You can find it in some stores and kind of easy to make.

What is Creme fraiche? Is there something we can substitute it for
Kval 6 months ago
Crème fraîche, French for “fresh cream” and anglicized simply as creme fraiche, is a thick cultured cream. Cultured cream is cream soured with a bacterial culture, similar to sour cream or Mexican crema.Feb 4, 2024
