Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large cucumber
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 small red onion
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and use a vegetable peeler to remove strips of the skin for a decorative look, if desired.
Slice the cucumbers thinly using a sharp knife or mandolin slicer. Place the slices in a large bowl.
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the bowl with the cucumber slices.
In a separate small mixing bowl, whisk together the sour cream, fresh dill, white vinegar, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper until creamy and well-combined.
Pour the creamy dressing over the cucumber and onion mixture. Gently toss everything together until evenly coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish with your favorite main course.
