Ingredients

▢ 2 cucumbers* (see note below) thinly sliced
▢ 1/2 sweet onion thinly sliced
▢ 3/4 cup sour cream
▢ 2 tablespoons white vinegar
▢ 1-2 teaspoons white sugar
▢ 1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
▢ salt to taste

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together sour cream, vinegar, sugar, dill, and salt.
Add in cucumbers and onions and stir until everything is well coated. Serve immediately for crispy cucumbers or refrigerate for 2-3 hours to allow cucumbers to soften. Enjoy!

Notes

** Once cut, cucumbers will start to lose water, making the dressing thinner. For a thicker dressing- cut cucumbers, place in a colander, and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Allow cucumbers to sit for 30 minutes to drain excess water. Then continue with step 2.

Storage- Refrigerate leftovers in an air-tight container for up to 5 days.
