Ingredients
- 3 medium (about 1.5 lbs) cucumbers
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup (thinly sliced) red onion
Directions
Step 1
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly, then peel them partially, leaving alternating strips of skin for a decorative look. Thinly slice the cucumbers using a sharp knife or mandoline.
Step 2
Place the cucumber slices in a colander. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over them, toss, and let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sour cream, white vinegar, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Fold in the cucumbers, red onion slices, and chopped fresh dill. Mix gently to coat the vegetables evenly in the sour cream mixture.
Step 5
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or a small splash of vinegar, depending on your preference.
Step 6
Transfer the sour cream cucumbers to a serving dish, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Step 7
Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish or snack. Garnish with extra fresh dill if desired.
