Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large English cucumbers
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Dill, fresh
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 cup White onion, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon Honey
Instructions
Begin by washing the cucumbers thoroughly. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, cut them into thin slices, about 1/8 inch thick. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the thinly sliced white onion to the bowl with the cucumbers.
In a separate small bowl, combine the sour cream, apple cider vinegar, fresh dill, minced garlic, honey, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
Pour the sour cream mixture over the sliced cucumbers and onions in the large bowl.
Gently toss the cucumbers and onions with the dressing until they are evenly coated. Be careful not to break the cucumber slices.
Cover the bowl and chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve cold, garnished with a few extra sprigs of fresh dill if desired.
