Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
- 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey or sugar
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Optional: a pinch of garlic powder for extra flavor
Instructions
- Start by washing the cucumbers thoroughly. Slice them thinly using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer for uniformity. Place the sliced cucumbers in a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, combine the sour cream (or Greek yogurt), mayonnaise, lemon juice, honey (or sugar), and a pinch of garlic powder if desired. Whisk until smooth and well-blended.
- Add the sliced red onion and chopped dill to the cucumbers. Pour the creamy dressing over the mixture and toss gently to coat all the cucumber slices evenly. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve chilled as a perfect side dish for grilled meats or sandwiches.
Notes
- Use thinly sliced cucumbers for a delicate texture.
- Fresh dill enhances the flavor, but you can substitute with parsley or chives if needed.
- Adjust sweetness and acidity to your taste—add more lemon juice or honey accordingly.
- For extra crunch, sprinkle some chopped nuts or seeds before serving.
