Ingredients
- ¼ red onion finely sliced
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 large English cucumbers thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar optional
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, thoroughly blend the sour cream with the red wine vinegar, chopped dill, garlic powder, and sugar if using, until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Introduce the cucumber slices and red onion into the bowl with the dressing, and gently fold the ingredients until the vegetables are evenly coated.
- Present the salad immediately at ambient temperature, or for enhanced flavor and texture, chill in the refrigerator for up to one hour prior to serving.
Notes
This salad is best enjoyed shortly after preparation to maintain its crisp texture, as cucumbers tend to release moisture over time, which can dilute the dressing.
