A refreshing and creamy cucumber salad featuring thinly sliced English cucumbers tossed in a tangy sour cream and dill dressing. This easy-to-make side dish is perfect for hot days and pairs wonderfully with grilled meats or as a light snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 English cucumbers
  • ½ Red onion (optional)

Dressing

  • ½ cup Sour cream
  • 1 tbsp Dill
  • 2 tbsp White vinegar
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ¼ tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cucumbers: Peel the English cucumbers completely and slice them into thin, even slices for a crisp texture. Place the sliced cucumbers into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Mix the dressing: In a separate small bowl, combine the sour cream, dill, white vinegar, salt, garlic powder, and sugar. Whisk the ingredients together thoroughly until the dressing is smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Combine cucumbers and dressing: Pour the prepared creamy dressing over the cucumber slices. Toss gently but thoroughly to ensure every cucumber slice is well coated with the dressing. If using, finely slice the red onion and add it at this stage to mix in.
  4. Chill before serving: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to a container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Serving the salad cold allows the flavors to meld beautifully and provides a refreshing taste.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, consider adding thinly sliced radishes or fresh herbs like parsley.
  • The salad can be prepared several hours in advance and kept refrigerated to enhance flavor absorption.
  • If you prefer a lighter version, substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt.
  • Adjust the sugar and vinegar quantities to suit your taste preference; some like it more tangy or slightly sweeter.
  • Red onion is optional but adds a nice sharpness; you can omit or substitute with green onions.
