Greek Yogurt Or Sour Cream works for Dressing this Creamy Cucumber Onion Salad?
Traditionally, Southern cooks would make this cucumber salad with sour cream and I've done so many times myself. Lately, I've been using plain Greek yogurt in the same amount with great success. It also gives the added bonus of extra protein. Complimentary for so many meals, it's a fantastic way to use extra cucumbers when they come in with a vengeance during garden season. Assemble it in advance and chill thoroughly to give the flavors time to marry before serving.
