Ingredients
- 2 large English cucumbers
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the cucumbers, leaving some of the peel for texture, if desired. Slice the cucumbers thinly using a sharp knife or mandoline.
Step 2
Place the sliced cucumbers in a colander and sprinkle with the salt. Toss to coat well and allow the cucumbers to drain for about 15 minutes to remove excess moisture.
Step 3
Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, prepare the dressing by combining the sour cream, mayonnaise, white vinegar, granulated sugar, fresh dill, garlic powder, and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and creamy.
Step 4
After the cucumbers have drained, pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove any remaining moisture.
Step 5
Add the dried cucumber slices to the prepared dressing and gently toss until the cucumbers are evenly coated.
Step 6
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 7
Before serving, give the salad a quick toss and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Step 8
Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish and enjoy!
