Ingredients
- 4 medium cucumbers, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 small sweet onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings
- ½ cup sour cream
- 3 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: Peel the cucumbers and slice them as thinly as possible. Thinly slice the sweet onion and separate the slices into rings.
- Make the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the sour cream, white vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Combine: Add the sliced cucumbers and onions to the bowl. Gently toss until everything is evenly coated with the creamy dressing.
- Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 4 hours to allow the flavors to blend together.
- Serve: Give the salad a gentle stir before serving and enjoy chilled!
Tips
- For extra flavor, add a little fresh dill.
- If the cucumbers release a lot of water, you can lightly salt them and let them sit for 15–20 minutes before making the salad, then drain and pat dry.
- This salad tastes even better after chilling, but honestly… who can wait 4 hours?
