Servings 6 servings
Ingredients
Creamy Dill Dressing:
- 6 tbsp sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 1/2 tsp granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp fresh ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill leaves
Cucumber Salad:
- 2 large cucumbers sliced thinly
- 2 tbsp sliced shallots or red onion
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
Instructions
- Make the dressing first. Whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper and fresh dill. I like to use a hand blender to do this part as it makes the dressing nice and creamy.
- Now slice the cucumbers thinly (see pictures), about 1/8 inch thick.
- Slice the shallots/red onion thinly.
- Chop more dill, about 1 extra tablespoon.
Putting the salad together:
- In a medium bowl toss the dressing with the sliced cucumbers, onion and additional fresh dill.
- Serve immediately.
