Ingredients

• 3 large Cucumbers
• 1 medium Red onion
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons White vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the cucumbers. If desired, you can leave thin strips of the peel for added texture and appearance.

Step 2

Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. Place the sliced cucumbers into a large bowl.

Step 3

Peel and slice the red onion into very thin wedges or rings, then add them to the bowl with the cucumbers.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine sour cream, white vinegar, sugar, salt, black pepper, and chopped fresh dill. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Pour the creamy dressing over the cucumbers and onions. Toss gently to coat all the pieces evenly.

Step 6

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dish for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Before serving, give the cucumbers a quick toss to redistribute the dressing. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 8

Serve chilled as a side dish or snack. Garnish with a sprig of fresh dill for presentation if desired.
