Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large cucumbers
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 small red onion
Instructions
Start by washing the cucumbers thoroughly. Peel them if desired, although leaving the peel on can add a nice texture and color to the salad.
Slice the cucumbers thinly, about 1/8 inch thick. You can use a mandoline slicer for uniform slices if preferred.
Place the sliced cucumbers in a large mixing bowl.
Finely chop the fresh dill and add it to the bowl with the cucumbers.
Halve the red onion and slice it thinly. Add the red onion slices to the mixing bowl.
In a separate small bowl, combine the sour cream and apple cider vinegar. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
Season the sour cream dressing with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Pour the sour cream dressing over the cucumber mixture. Toss gently until all the cucumber slices are well-coated with the dressing.
Let the salad sit in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the salad a final gentle toss. Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish or appetizer.
