Ingredients
Dressing
- ½ cup sour cream
- 3 tablespoons red vinegar
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Salad
- 2 large English cucumbers, thinly sliced
- ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, red vinegar, fresh dill, granulated sugar, and garlic powder until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as needed for balance.
- Combine the salad ingredients: Add the thinly sliced cucumbers and red onions on top of the prepared dressing. Gently stir everything together until all the cucumber and onion slices are evenly coated with the creamy dressing.
- Serve or chill: Serve the creamy cucumber salad immediately at room temperature for a fresh taste, or cover and refrigerate for about 1 hour to let the flavors meld and create a cooler, more refreshing dish.
Notes
- For extra crunch, you can add thinly sliced radishes or bell peppers.
- Adjust the sugar to your taste or omit it if you prefer a less sweet dressing.
- Chilling the salad enhances the flavors but is not mandatory.
- This salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
