How To Make creamy cucumber salad

1
Cut cucumber into quarters lengthwise and then cut into small chunks. (peel first if desired) Cut carrots into small rounds.

2
In a mixing bowl, toss cucumber, carrots, onion, tomato, mushroom and radish together with just a pinch of salt. In a separate small bowl, stir together sour cream, a few drops of lemon juice and sugar. It will be thick, but that is alright. Mix together the sour cream and veggies, stirring carefully to coat.
3
Sprinkle pepper and parsley and gently stir. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
