Cucumber Salad Recipe
This salad is packed with flavor. It has a nice crunch from the fresh cucumbers and radishes and a creaminess from the hardboiled eggs. Every year my family goes to the same park for the 4th of July. But we decided to mix things up this year and try out a new place. Adding a fun recipe like this to the mix keeps some of the family traditions while adding new experiences to our time together.

How to make this creamy cucumber salad
Before beginning, make sure to read over the complete printable recipe below for measurements and instructions. You will begin by boiling your eggs and preparing them to go in the salad. Next, you will prep the remaining vegetables in a large bowl as directed. The dressing will be the last part you make and then combine with the eggs and vegetables.
Keep refrigerated until time to serve. To distribute flavors evenly, always stir this creamy cucumber salad well before serving.
How long will this cucumber salad last in the fridge?
This is an easy recipe to make, so making it fresh is the preferred route. However, if that isn’t an option for you then a fridge is a perfect solution. If stored in an airtight container, you can keep this cucumber salad in the fridge for up to 5 days.
How to make this salad recipe healthier
One way is to swap the sour cream for Greek yogurt. The mayonnaise adds a lot of flavor, but you actually can omit it and replace it with greek yogurt as well.
