Creamy Cucumber Salad

Sharing is caring!

Creamy Cucumber Salad brings to mind a small farmhouse in the deep South. It’s a dish that a mother would make using a recipe handed down from her mother, and her mother before that. It’s one of those dishes that will warm your body and soul with each bite. I’ve used this salad for years when we were in the heat of summer. It was always thought to be a “summer dish” because it was such a refreshing meal when it was hot outside.

This is the perfect dish for an evening dinner on the porch when there is a nice cool breeze in the air.
