    Ingredients

    • 1 ½ lbs cucumbers
    • ½ medium purple or yellow onion
    • 1 Tbsp fresh or frozen dill
    • ½ cup sour cream can use plain Greek yoghurt as an alternative
    • ½ Tbsp fresh lemon juice
    • 1 garlic clove minced
    • ½ tsp sea salt and a pinch of black pepper for seasoning

    Instructions

    • Prep the Veggies:
    • Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds or half-moons. If you like them extra crisp, leave the peel on; if you prefer them milder, peel them first.
    • Thinly slice the onion and soak in ice-cold water for 5 minutes to mellow the flavor, if desired.
    • Make the Creamy Dressing:
    • In a bowl, combine the sour cream, minced garlic, dill, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
    • Toss It All Together:
    • In a large bowl, toss the cucumbers and onions with the creamy dressing. Be generous, make sure everything is coated!
    • Let It Chill:
    • Chill in the fridge for at least 20 minutes so the flavors meld together perfectly. For extra flavor, you can let it sit even longer!
    • Serve and Enjoy:
    • Serve this salad as a side dish with grilled meats, BBQ, or as a healthy snack. It’s refreshingly addictive!
