Start by washing and drying the cucumbers thoroughly. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the cucumbers into thin, even rounds.
Slice the red onion into thin half-moons. Combine the cucumber slices and onion in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, prepare the dressing by mixing together the sour cream, mayonnaise, white vinegar, freshly chopped dill, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until all ingredients are well blended and the dressing is smooth.
Pour the dressing over the cucumber and onion mixture. Toss gently to ensure every piece is coated in the creamy dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve chilled.
Before serving, give the salad a quick toss and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Enjoy as a refreshing side dish or standalone snack.
