Ingredients

• 2 large English cucumbers
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Dill, fresh
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.5 cup White onion, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon Honey

Directions

Step 1

Begin by washing the cucumbers thoroughly. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, cut them into thin slices, about 1/8 inch thick. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add the thinly sliced white onion to the bowl with the cucumbers.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, combine the sour cream, apple cider vinegar, fresh dill, minced garlic, honey, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix until the dressing is smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the sour cream mixture over the sliced cucumbers and onions in the large bowl.

Step 5

Gently toss the cucumbers and onions with the dressing until they are evenly coated. Be careful not to break the cucumber slices.

Step 6

Cover the bowl and chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Serve cold, garnished with a few extra sprigs of fresh dill if desired.
