Ingredients
- 2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash and thinly slice the cucumbers (you can peel them, but leaving the skin on adds texture).
- In a large bowl, mix the sour cream, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and dill until smooth and well combined.
- Add the sliced cucumbers to the bowl and toss them gently in the creamy dressing until evenly coated.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the tanginess or sweetness by adding more vinegar or sugar as desired.
- Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- For a lighter version, you can substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream.
- Add red onion, avocado, or a pinch of red pepper flakes for a twist.
- If you want to reduce the cucumber’s moisture, sprinkle the slices with salt and let them sit for 10-15 minutes, then squeeze out the excess water.
