Ingredients

• 3 large Cucumbers
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1.5 tablespoons White vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the cucumbers, leaving some of the peel in thin strips if desired for color and texture contrast.

Step 2

Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice the cucumbers into very thin rounds and place them in a colander.

Step 3

Sprinkle the cucumbers with 1 teaspoon of salt, toss gently to coat, and let them sit for 15 minutes. This step draws out excess water.

Step 4

While the cucumbers are resting, prepare the dressing. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the sour cream, white vinegar, granulated sugar, chopped fresh dill, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

After 15 minutes, rinse the cucumbers under cold water to remove the excess salt. Pat them dry gently using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 6

Add the dried cucumber slices to the bowl with the dressing and toss until the cucumbers are evenly coated.

Step 7

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Step 8

Serve chilled as a side dish or salad. Garnish with additional fresh dill if desired.
