Creamy Cucumber Salad with Garlic and Dill
This creamy cucumber salad combines thinly sliced English cucumbers and red onions with a dressing of sour cream, white vinegar, garlic, fresh dill, sugar, and salt. It is chilled for an hour to meld the flavors, resulting in a refreshing, tangy salad punctuated by the pungency of garlic and herbal dill notes, ideal as a cool side dish.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar distilled

- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar

Instructions
- In a large bowl whisk together sour cream, vinegar, garlic, dill, sugar, and salt.
