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!
