Ingredients

• 2 large English cucumber
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons White vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 medium Red onion

Directions

Step 1

Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and pat them dry.

Step 2

Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, thinly slice the cucumbers into even rounds.

Step 3

Place the sliced cucumbers into a mixing bowl and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt. Toss to distribute evenly, then let sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.

Step 4

While the cucumbers are resting, prepare the dressing. In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, white vinegar, granulated sugar, freshly chopped dill, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.

Step 5

Thinly slice the red onion into half-moons and set aside.

Step 6

Drain the cucumbers and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess liquid.

Step 7

In a large bowl, combine the cucumbers, red onion slices, and the prepared dressing. Toss gently to coat evenly.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or vinegar if needed.

Step 9

Chill the creamy cucumbers in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 10

Serve cold as a side dish and garnish with extra fresh dill if desired.
