Ingredients
-
2 / Thinly sliced Large cucumbers
-
1/2 / Thinly sliced Medium red onion
-
1/2 cup Sour cream
-
1/2 cup Mayonnaise
-
2 tablespoons White Vinegar
-
1 tablespoon (adjust to taste) Sugar
-
1/2 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
-
1/4 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Black pepper
-
1/4 cup chopped (optional, for garnish) Fresh dill
Directions
- Prepare the Cucumbers: Wash and slice the cucumbers thinly. You can use a knife or a mandoline for even slices. If you prefer, you can peel the cucumbers before slicing for a milder flavor.
- Slice the Red Onion: Thinly slice the red onion. You can soak the sliced onions in cold water for a few minutes to mellow their flavor if you find them too pungent.
- Prepare the Dressing: In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, white vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until the dressing is smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed by adding more sugar, salt, or pepper according to your preference.
- Combine Cucumbers and Onions: Add the sliced cucumbers and red onions to the dressing mixture. Gently toss to coat the vegetables evenly with the creamy dressing.
- Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Chilling allows the flavors to meld and the salad to become more refreshing.
- Serve: Just before serving, garnish the creamy cucumber salad with chopped fresh dill if you like. The dill adds a nice burst of flavor and a pop of color.
- Enjoy: Serve the salad as a side dish alongside your favorite grilled meats, sandwiches, or as a refreshing snack.
Feel free to adjust the ingredients and seasoning to suit your taste preferences. Some people like to add a pinch of garlic powder or a squeeze of lemon juice for extra flavor. Enjoy your creamy cucumber salad!
