Ingredients

• 2 whole English cucumbers
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
• 1 tablespoon White vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 whole Red onion

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the cucumbers thoroughly, then peel them in alternating strips to create a striped effect (optional).

Step 2

Thinly slice the cucumbers into rounds using a sharp knife or mandoline for even slices.

Step 3

Place the sliced cucumbers in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt. Toss to coat the cucumbers evenly and let them sit for 10 minutes to release excess water.

Step 4

Meanwhile, finely chop the fresh dill and thinly slice the red onion into small strips. Set aside.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, white vinegar, granulated sugar, garlic powder, ground black pepper, and chopped fresh dill until smooth and well combined.

Step 6

After 10 minutes, drain the cucumbers in a colander to remove the released water. Pat them dry with a paper towel if necessary.

Step 7

Add the cucumbers and red onion slices to the bowl with the dressing. Toss gently to coat everything evenly with the creamy dressing.

Step 8

Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish. Garnish with additional fresh dill if desired.
