- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Wash and dry the cucumbers. Peel them if desired, then slice them thinly into rounds. Set aside.
Peel the onion and slice it into thin rings or half-moons, depending on your preference.
