Sour Cream Cucumbers Salad

Here’s a classic and refreshing Sour Cream Cucumber Salad recipe — perfect for summer!

🥒 Sour Cream Cucumber Salad

Ingredients:

• 2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced

• 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced (optional)

• 1 cup sour cream

• 2 tablespoons white vinegar or lemon juice

• 1 tablespoon sugar (adjust to taste)

• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tsp dried dill)

• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prep Cucumbers:

   • Slice cucumbers thinly (use a mandoline if you like very thin slices).

   • Optional: Sprinkle cucumbers with a bit of salt and let them sit in a colander for 20–30 minutes to draw out excess water. Pat dry.

2. Mix Dressing:

   • In a large bowl, whisk together the sour cream, vinegar (or lemon juice), sugar, dill, salt, and pepper until smooth.

3. Combine:

   • Add the cucumbers (and red onions, if using) to the bowl and toss to coat.

4. Chill:

   • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors blend.

5. Serve:

   • Serve cold as a side dish. Garnish with extra dill if desired.

Tips:

• Use English cucumbers or seedless cucumbers for best texture.

• Add a clove of minced garlic for a sharper flavor.

• You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a lighter version.
