Sour Cream & Dill Cucumbers
Cool, creamy, and full of fresh dill flavor, these sour cream cucumbers are a classic refreshing side dish. Thinly sliced cucumbers are tossed in a tangy, herby dressing with just the right balance of richness and brightness. Perfect for summer meals, potlucks, or as a light, crisp contrast to hearty dishes.
Ingredients
- 4 cucumbers large, peeled and thinly sliced
- cold water enough to cover cucumbers
- 1 onion small, grated
- 1/2 cup sour cream full fat
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tsp white vinegar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1-3 tbsp dill fresh or dried
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper or to taste
Instructions
- Place sliced cucumbers in a bowl, sprinkle with salt, cover with cold water, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, combine grated onion, sour cream, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, dill, black pepper, and cayenne. Stir until smooth.
- Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more dill, sugar, or cayenne as desired.
- Drain cucumbers thoroughly and pat dry to remove excess moisture.
- Gently fold cucumbers into the dressing until evenly coated.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving for best flavor.
Notes
Letting the cucumbers drain well is key to preventing a watery dressing. This salad tastes even better after a few hours in the fridge as the flavors meld together.
