Ingredients
- 2 large cucumber
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons dill (fresh or dried)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 small red onion
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the cucumbers. If desired, you can leave some thin strips of skin on for a decorative look.
Step 2
Slice the cucumbers into very thin rounds using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Set them aside in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Peel and thinly slice the red onion into rings or half-moons, then add them to the bowl with the cucumbers.
Step 4
In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing: whisk together the sour cream, white vinegar, granulated sugar, garlic powder, dill, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Step 5
Pour the dressing over the cucumbers and onions. Gently toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated in the creamy mixture.
Step 6
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the cucumbers to chill completely.
Step 7
Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning as needed (add more salt or dill if desired). Serve cold as a refreshing side dish.
