Ingredients

  • 3 large Cucumbers
  • 1/2 large Red onion
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream
  • 1 Tbsp Red wine vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp Sugar
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1.5 tsp Italian Seasoning

Instructions

  • Peel and slice your cucumbers. I prefer mine sliced very thinly, but you can cut yours thicker if you prefer. 
  • Slice red onion into small, thin pieces.
  • In a large bowl, add mayo, sour cream, vinegar, sugar, garlic powder and Italian seasonings. Stir well to combine. 
  • Add sliced cucumbers and onion to bowl with dressing. Toss well to coat and then refrigerate until ready to eat. Best made within a couple hours of eating. 

Notes

This recipe has only been tested with Hellman's mayonnaise and I highly recommend that's the only brand of mayo you use!
You can substitute the red onions for sweet yellow onions if you prefer. Or leave them out completely to cut down on carbs even more!
