Ingredients:

  • 2 large English cucumbers, thinly sliced (approx. 1.5 lbs / 680g)
  • ½ medium red onion, thinly sliced (approx. 3 oz / 85g)
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder

Instructions:

  1. Place sliced cucumbers in a colander and sprinkle with 1 tsp of salt. Let them sit for 15 minutes to sweat out excess moisture.
  2. Rinse the cucumbers under cold water to remove excess salt, then pat them thoroughly dry with a paper towel.
  3. Thinly slice the red onion into half-moons and combine them with the dried cucumbers in a large bowl.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and granulated sugar.
  5. Stir in the chopped fresh dill, black pepper, and garlic powder until the mixture is smooth and sugar is dissolved.
  6. Pour the dressing over the cucumber and onion mixture, tossing gently until every slice is evenly coated.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to fuse before serving.
