Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Wash the cucumbers thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 2

Using a sharp knife or a mandoline, slice the cucumbers very thinly into rounds. Aim for even slices to ensure uniform flavor and texture.

Step 3

Place the cucumber slices into a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

Peel and slice the red onion into very thin, half-moon slices. Add the onion slices to the bowl with the cucumbers.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, combine the sour cream, white vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 6

Chop the fresh dill finely and add it to the sour cream mixture. Stir to distribute the dill evenly throughout the dressing.

Step 7

Pour the sour cream dressing over the cucumber and onion mixture.

Step 8

Gently toss the salad until the cucumbers and onions are well coated in the sauce.

Step 9

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

After chilling, give the salad a final stir and taste for seasoning, adjusting salt and pepper if necessary.

Step 11

Serve the cucumber salad chilled, either on its own or as a refreshing side to your meal.
