Ingredients
- 2 whole English cucumbers
- 1 cup Vegan sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
Directions
Step 1
Start by washing and drying the cucumbers. Use a vegetable peeler to partially peel the cucumbers, leaving strips of green skin for texture.
Step 2
Slice the cucumbers thinly using a sharp knife or a mandoline for even slices.
Step 3
Place the sliced cucumbers in a large mixing bowl.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, prepare the dressing by mixing the vegan sour cream, apple cider vinegar, fresh lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and sugar. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 5
Chop the fresh dill finely and add it to the dressing. Stir to combine.
Step 6
Pour the dressing over the cucumber slices and toss gently until all of the cucumbers are well coated.
Step 7
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Before serving, give the salad a quick toss and taste. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
Step 9
Serve chilled as a light, refreshing side dish or appetizer.
