Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 large English cucumbers, thinly sliced

  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced (optional)

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (for sweating cucumbers)

  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice

  • 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)

  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Slice cucumbers and place in a colander. Sprinkle with salt and toss. Let sit 20–30 minutes.

  • Pat cucumbers dry with paper towels.

  • In a bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar (if using), dill, salt, and pepper.

  • Add cucumbers and red onion (if using) to the dressing. Toss to coat.

  • Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For less bite, soak red onion slices in cold water before adding.

  • Best served cold; keeps for 2–3 days in the fridge.

  • Try adding radishes or chickpeas for variety.
