Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large English cucumber
- 1 medium Sweet onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Prepared horseradish
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and slice them thinly (around 1/8-inch thick) using a sharp knife or mandoline. Place the sliced cucumbers into a large mixing bowl.
Peel and halve the sweet onion, then slice it very thinly. Add the sliced onion to the bowl with the cucumbers.
Chop the fresh dill finely and set aside 1 tablespoon for garnishing. Add the remaining dill to the mixing bowl.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, prepared horseradish, apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, kosher salt, and ground black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the cucumber and onion mixture. Gently toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if desired.
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 gentle stir and garnish with the reserved fresh dill. Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish.
