How Long Will It Keep in the Refrigerator?

Creamy Cucumber Salad will keep for several days if kept cold and covered. It tastes best when it's fresh, but it may be easily refreshed. Add some additional crunchy cucumbers or perhaps some minced white onions if you like!

To Prepare Ahead

This recipe can be cooked 4 or 5 hours ahead of time for the finest flavor, and the cucumbers will stay crisp! If you want to make it ahead of time, slice the cucumbers and onions and combine them with the dressing right before serving.
