Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized Cucumbers
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and pat them dry.
Thinly slice the cucumbers into rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. You can use a mandoline for uniform slices.
Place the cucumber slices in a large bowl and sprinkle with salt. Toss the cucumbers gently to ensure they are evenly salted, then set aside for 10 minutes.
While the cucumbers rest, finely chop the fresh dill and mince the garlic clove.
In a small bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, sugar, minced garlic, and black pepper until the sugar is dissolved.
After 10 minutes, drain any liquid that has been released from the cucumbers, but do not rinse. Pat them dry with a paper towel if necessary.
Add the sour cream, chopped dill, and vinegar mixture to the cucumbers. Toss everything together until the cucumber slices are well coated.
Cover and chill the marinated cucumbers in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve cold as a refreshing side dish or salad. Enjoy!
