Instructions

  1. Step 1: Thinly slice 2 medium English cucumbers using a mandoline or sharp knife into 1/8-inch rounds and place in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Step 2: In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup sour cream, 2 tbsp white vinegar, 1 tsp granulated sugar, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until smooth and creamy.
  3. Step 3: Pour the dressing over the sliced cucumbers and gently toss to coat. Add 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill and mix again. Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and cucumbers to crisp up.
