Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium cucumbers, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers and red onion. Gently toss to combine.
- Step 2: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, white wine vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
- Step 3: Pour the dressing over the cucumber and onion mixture.
- Step 4: Stir in the chopped fresh dill.
- Step 5: Gently toss everything together to ensure the cucumbers and onions are evenly coated in the dressing.
- Step 6: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This salad tastes even better if chilled for a few hours or overnight.
Notes
- Store leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; the flavors will deepen.
- This salad is best served chilled, and reheating is not recommended as it will wilt the cucumbers and diminish the fresh flavor.
- Serve this refreshing salad alongside grilled fish or chicken for a light and flavorful summer meal.
- To prevent the cucumbers from becoming watery, gently salt them and let them sit for 10-15 minutes before adding the dressing; then, gently pat them dry with a paper towel before mixing.
