Cucumber Salad with Sour Cream
Cucumber salad with sour cream is a fresh and simple dish with its roots in European cuisine, especially in Germany and Eastern Europe, where cucumber salads are very popular during the summer. In Latin America, this type of salad is commonly known as "ensalada de pepino" or "fresh cucumber salad," although in some countries it may have variants with additional ingredients or different preparation methods. In Mexico, for example, it is common to add a touch of spice, such as Tabasco sauce, to give it a more characteristic flavor.

In Argentina and Chile, sour cream is known as "crema fresca" and is often used in salads to provide a mild and creamy flavor. In general, this dish is appreciated for its freshness, ease of preparation, and for being an ideal accompaniment for heavy meals or barbecues.
