    Do you think a splash of vinegar would taste ok in this?

    I'm sure you could add a splash of vinegar.

    Report back how you liked it (with or without the vinegar).

    Totally going to try this! I think I will try using fat free plain greek yogurt instead of the sour cream. :) Thanks!

    Love cucumbers and sour cream. My mom used to make it all the time in the summer. I never thought to make it healthier with light sour cream. Yum!

    My mother would slice cucumber and onion then mix in a container of sour cream. I like it after it sits for awhile and the cucumber releases some of its water, making a nice creamy "sauce". Top with some salt and pepper and it's perfect for summer.

    This is delicious. We've always made this with tomatoes mixed in, too. So refreshing!
