Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large cucumber
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, thinly slice the cucumbers into rounds. Aim for slices about 1/8 inch thick for best results.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, white vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the ingredients are well blended and the sugar has dissolved.
Finely chop the fresh dill and add it to the sour cream mixture. Mix well to distribute the dill evenly.
Add the sliced cucumbers to the bowl with the dressing. Gently toss the cucumbers with the sour cream mixture until they are fully coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if desired.
Serve immediately for a crisp texture, or refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled as a side dish or snack.
