Ingredients

  • 2 large English cucumbers or 4 regular cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp sugar (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice cucumbers and place them in a colander. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for 20–30 minutes to draw out moisture.
  2. In a bowl, mix sour cream, vinegar, dill, garlic (if using), sugar, and black pepper until smooth.
  3. Pat the cucumbers dry with paper towels after they’ve drained.
  4. Toss cucumbers with the dressing until evenly coated.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
  • Add sliced red onion or radish for extra crunch.
  • Use lemon juice or more vinegar for extra tang.
  • For heat, sprinkle in red pepper flakes or cracked mustard seeds.
  • Stir before serving if cucumbers release extra water in storage.
