Ingredients
- 2 large Cucumbers
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons White wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Dill
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Start by slicing the cucumbers. Peel the cucumbers and then, using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice them into thin, even rounds. This ensures each piece will soak up the dressing nicely.
Step 2
Place the sliced cucumbers in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
In a separate smaller bowl, prepare the dressing by combining the sour cream, white wine vinegar, chopped dill, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix the ingredients well until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Pour the creamy dressing over the cucumbers in the large bowl.
Step 5
Gently toss the cucumbers and dressing together with a large spoon or spatula until the cucumbers are evenly coated.
Step 6
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the salad for at least 15 minutes. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and enhances the salad's refreshing taste.
Step 7
Before serving, give the salad a final gentle stir. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired by adding more salt or pepper.
Step 8
Serve the cucumber salad chilled as a refreshing side dish.
