Ingredients
- 2 large Cucumbers
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the cucumbers. Use a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife to thinly slice the cucumbers into even rounds.
Step 2
Place the sliced cucumbers in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Toss gently to ensure the salt is evenly distributed. Let the cucumbers sit for 10 minutes to release excess water.
Step 3
While the cucumbers are draining, prepare the dressing. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, white vinegar, sugar, dill, and black pepper until smooth.
Step 4
After 10 minutes, rinse the cucumbers under cold water to remove excess salt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 5
Add the cucumbers to the bowl with the dressing. Toss gently to coat the cucumbers evenly with the mixture.
Step 6
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 7
Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish. Garnish with additional fresh dill if desired.
