Creamy Cucumber Salad is a true summertime staple! Fresh, crisp cucumbers are thinly sliced and served with red onions in a tangy creamy sauce. This simple, inexpensive, and refreshing salad comes together with ingredients you likely already have in your kitchen in just about 15 minutes.
In a medium bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, red or white wine vinegar, Italian seasoning, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and sugar.
For best results, cover and chill the dressing for at least one hour, and up to a full day before making the salad.
Thinly slice the cucumbers and red onions about 1/8-1/4 inch thick.
Mix the dressing together with the onion and cucumber. Serve immediately, or chill until ready to serve.

Notes
NOTE: This salad tastes best when the dressing is made ahead and chilled for at least one hour and up to 24 hours before serving. Once the salad is assembled, it can be chilled for another 1-2 days before serving if desired.
