Sour Cream Cucumbers
Cool, creamy, and tangy cucumber salad tossed in a silky sour-cream-and-dill dressing. It’s crisp, refreshing, and perfect alongside grilled chicken, salmon, or any summer spread.
Ingredients
- 2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar (or to taste)
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
- salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Place cucumber slices in a colander and lightly sprinkle with salt. Let sit 20–30 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Pat dry well with paper towels.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together sour cream, vinegar, sugar, dill, a pinch of salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Add the cucumbers (and red onion, if using) to the dressing and toss gently until evenly coated.
- Cover and refrigerate for 30–60 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Stir gently before serving. Adjust salt, pepper, or vinegar to taste and garnish with a little extra dill if desired.
