Answer 3

It's called cucumbers and sour cream. Depending on the size dish you want to make.....I use 4-5 cucumbers sliced thin A couple onions. You put cold water over them and about 1/4 c. apple cider vinegar and about 1 c. salt. Let sit 2 hrs. or overnight covered. Drain real well. I dump them in a colander and let them sit awhile. Put them back in bowl and add a small container of sour cream. Larger container sour cream if you make more. Add salt & pepper to taste stir it all up put it in the fridg. to cool and wah la.

Answer 7

Was it a cold dish? If so it was probably peeled and sliced cukes, sweet onions (like Vidalias or maybe purple), splash of vinegar, s&p, and sour cream... stirred all together, and let chill in the fridge.
