Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large English cucumber
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 small Red onion
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Using a sharp knife or a mandoline, slice the cucumbers very thinly into rounds. Aim for even slices to ensure uniform flavor and texture.
Place the cucumber slices into a large mixing bowl.
Peel and slice the red onion into very thin, half-moon slices. Add the onion slices to the bowl with the cucumbers.
In a separate small bowl, combine the sour cream, white vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Chop the fresh dill finely and add it to the sour cream mixture. Stir to distribute the dill evenly throughout the dressing.
Pour the sour cream dressing over the cucumber and onion mixture.
Gently toss the salad until the cucumbers and onions are well coated in the sauce.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
After chilling, give the salad a final stir and taste for seasoning, adjusting salt and pepper if necessary.
Serve the cucumber salad chilled, either on its own or as a refreshing side to your meal.
