- 6 large Cucumbers
- 1 medium White onion
- 3 cups Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
Instructions
Wash and peel the cucumbers. Slice them thinly into rounds (about 1/8 inch thick) and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and finely slice the white onion into thin rings. Add the onion slices to the bowl with the cucumbers.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, white vinegar, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well-combined.
Pour the sour cream dressing over the sliced cucumbers and onions in the mixing bowl.
Gently toss everything together until the cucumbers and onions are evenly coated with the dressing.
Chop the fresh dill finely and sprinkle it over the cucumber mixture. Mix gently to incorporate the dill.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, give the salad a quick stir and taste. Adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or vinegar if desired.
Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish at your gathering. Enjoy!
