Ingredients

Scale

2 large cucumbers (English or Persian preferred), thinly sliced
½ cup sour cream
2 tbsp white vinegar
1 tsp sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced (optional)

Instructions

Thinly slice cucumbers and place in a colander. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for 15–20 minutes.
Rinse cucumbers and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together sour cream, vinegar, sugar, dill, salt, and pepper.
Add cucumbers and optional red onions to the dressing and mix gently.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Salting and draining the cucumbers prevents a watery salad.

Greek yogurt can be used as a substitute for sour cream.

Adjust seasoning after chilling as the flavours develop over time.

Best served cold and within 2–3 days of preparation.
