Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large cucumbers
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons dill
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel the cucumbers and slice them thinly into rounds. If the cucumbers are overly seedy, consider scraping out some of the seeds using a spoon before slicing.
Slice the red onion into thin strips or rings.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, white vinegar, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold the sliced cucumbers and red onions into the creamy dressing until well coated.
Chop the dill finely and sprinkle it into the mixture. Toss gently to distribute the dill evenly.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Taste and adjust salt or pepper before serving, if needed.
Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish. Enjoy!
