Ingredients
- 12 ounces salad cucumbers (Kirby cucumbers), about 4 medium)
- 1 tablespoon salt
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 2 green onions finely chopped (both white and green parts)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- Pinch of sugar
- Pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions
- Peel the cucumber(s) and cut into thin slices.
- Place the cucumber slices in a colander and sprinkle with the salt. Put the colander on a plate to catch any juices that drain from the cucumbers. Set aside for one hour.
- Mix together the remaining ingredients and place in the refrigerator while the cucumbers are draining.
- When ready to serve, rinse the cucumbers and pat dry with paper towels. Toss cucumbers with the dressing and serve.
Notes
- Ingredient Substitutions:
- Storage: This recipe is at its best the same day it's made but you can keep it for a few days in the refrigerator. Place the leftovers in an airtight container with a tight-fitting lid and keep it cold.
- I prefer salad (or Kirby) cucumbers, but you can use any type available. If using English cucumbers, you can usually skip the peeling step because they're not as bitter as other varieties.
- There are quite a few great substitutes for sour cream. Try plain Greek yogurt, Mexican crema, whipped cream cheese, buttermilk, smooth cottage cheese, or mayonnaise.
- Substitute 2 teaspoons dried dill weed for the fresh dill.
- Apple cider vinegar may be substituted for the white vinegar.
