Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium English cucumber
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly. Peel them if desired, though leaving the peel on will add more texture and fiber to the salad.
Slice the cucumbers thinly using a mandoline or sharp knife. Place the slices in a colander and sprinkle them evenly with a pinch of salt. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess water.
While the cucumbers are sitting, finely chop the fresh dill and thinly slice the red onion. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until smooth and well-blended.
Gently pat the cucumber slices dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
Add the cucumber slices, chopped dill, and sliced red onion to the sour cream mixture. Toss everything together gently until well coated.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice according to your preference.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish or light meal.
