Ingredients

  • 2 large cucumbers (English or garden)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Peel cucumbers if desired and slice very thinly.
  2. Place cucumber slices in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and let sit for 15–20 minutes to draw out excess water.
  3. Pat cucumbers dry with paper towels.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, lemon juice or vinegar, sugar, dill, and pepper.
  5. Add cucumbers and toss until evenly coated.
  6. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Serves 4 as a side dish.
  • Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a lighter version.
  • Add thinly sliced red onion for extra flavor.
  • Increase vinegar or lemon juice for more tang.
  • Best enjoyed fresh; cucumbers will release liquid over time.
