Ingredients

• 3 medium cucumbers, thinly sliced

• 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

• 2 tablespoons white vinegar or apple cider vinegar

• 1 tablespoon sugar

• 1 teaspoon salt

• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (optional)

• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced (optional)

Directions

• In a large bowl, whisk together sour cream (or Greek yogurt), vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper until smooth.
• Add sliced cucumbers (and red onion, if using) to the bowl and toss gently to coat all pieces evenly with the dressing.
• Sprinkle chopped fresh dill on top and stir gently.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld.

Notes

• For extra crispness, sprinkle cucumbers with salt and drain excess liquid before mixing with dressing.
• Use Greek yogurt for a lighter, tangier version.
• This salad tastes best when made a few hours ahead, allowing the flavors to develop.
