Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Cucumber
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon White vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and peel the cucumbers, leaving some thin strips of skin for texture if desired.
Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds, approximately 1/8 inch thick. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Thinly slice the red onion into very fine strips and add to the mixing bowl with the cucumbers.
In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing by combining the sour cream, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, white vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Finely chop the fresh dill and stir it into the dressing mixture.
Pour the dressing over the cucumbers and onions. Gently toss everything together to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the salad a final toss and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve chilled as a side dish or light summer salad.
