Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
- 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tsp dried dill)
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Place sliced cucumbers (and red onion, if using) in a large bowl. Lightly salt and let sit for 15-20 minutes to draw out excess water. Drain well and pat dry with paper towels.
- In a separate bowl, mix together sour cream, vinegar, dill, sugar, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Add the cucumbers (and onions) to the dressing and toss until evenly coated.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
- Serve chilled as a side dish or salad.
Notes
- English cucumbers or seedless cucumbers work best for fewer seeds and less moisture.
- Adjust vinegar and sugar to taste for more tang or sweetness.
- This dish is best eaten the same day as cucumbers may release water over time.
- For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt in place of sour cream.
