Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large cucumber
- 1 medium onion
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and peel them if desired. Slice them thinly into rounds using a knife or mandoline for even pieces.
Peel the onion and slice it into thin rings or half-moons, depending on your preference.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, white vinegar, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until the dressing is smooth and the sugar is dissolved.
Add the sliced cucumbers and onions to the dressing and toss gently to coat all the pieces evenly.
Finely chop the fresh dill and sprinkle it over the cucumber and onion mixture. Fold it in to distribute the dill throughout the dish.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. For the best taste, refrigerate for 1-2 hours before serving.
Give the mixture a quick stir before serving. Serve chilled as a side dish or salad.
