This recipe has been in my husband's family for many years. His mom shared the recipe with me before she passed. It has been one of my favorites ever since. Our entire family loves this recipe. This recipe is also in my cookbook. Has been a proven winner whenever we have company, and I make and serve this. I hope you like it too.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

If you need an easy side dish for a summer cookout, make these sour cream and chive cucumbers. The recipe makes a large amount, but it can be halved if needed. Thinly sliced cucumbers are tossed in a sweet and tangy sauce. Dill and green onions are a nice pop of flavor. Super creamy, it's a great way to enjoy fresh cucumbers.
