Description

This Cucumber Dill Salad is a bright, crisp, and satisfying side dish that adds a burst of fresh flavor to any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 English cucumbers or Persian cucumbers
  • 1/2 cup fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt (plus more for draining cucumbers)
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Optional: juice of 1 lemon
  • Optional: dash of Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Wash your cucumbers thoroughly. If using English or Persian cucumbers, you typically don’t need to peel them. If using regular slicing cucumbers, peel them and cut them in half lengthwise, scooping out the seeds. Slice the cucumbers thinly.
  2. Place the sliced cucumbers in a colander set over a bowl. Sprinkle them generously with about 1 teaspoon of salt. Toss gently and let them sit for at least 30 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
  3. While the cucumbers are draining, thinly slice your red onion.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream (or Greek yogurt), white vinegar, granulated sugar, the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Add the finely chopped fresh dill and whisk until smooth.
  5. Once the cucumbers have drained, gently squeeze them to remove any remaining water. Add the drained cucumbers and sliced red onion to the bowl with the dressing and toss gently until coated.
  6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  7. Give the salad a gentle stir before serving and garnish with extra fresh dill if desired.
