Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 2 large English cucumber thinly sliced (about 24 oz)
  • ½ red onion thinly sliced (about 2 oz)
  • 3 tablespoons freshly chopped dill leaves
  • ½ cup (4 oz) sour cream
  • 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • ¾ teaspoon white sugar
  • ½ teaspoon freshly minced garlic
  • ¼ teaspoon coarse kosher salt (or more to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Method

  1. Make the dressing: In a bowl, mix the sour cream, white wine vinegar, white sugar, garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.

  3. Toss it together: Mix everything so the dressing coats each piece evenly.

Notes

  • Best eaten within 2 days, since the cucumbers lose their crunch and the salad gets more watery the longer it sits.
  • Regular cucumber works too if you cannot find English cucumber. Just peel it and scoop out the seeds first.
