Ingredients

⅔ cup sour cream
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon white vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
2 English cucumbers sliced thin
½ onion sliced thin
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, sugar, white vinegar, and dill.
Gently stir it into a bowl with the sliced cucumbers and onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Chill for a couple of hours.

Notes

A mandolin is an excellent way to slice the cucumbers and onions into thin, uniform pieces.
If less moisture in the salad is desired, sprinkle the cucumbers with a teaspoon of salt and place them in a colander to drain for about an hour. Then, dry with a paper towel before proceeding with the recipe.
Serve this dish with a slotted spoon.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
