Ingredients
- 1 English cucumber
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ¼ teaspoons dried dill
- ½ cup pickled onions
- 1 teaspoons salt
Instructions
- Wash and slice the cucumber into ¼" rounds. Place in a mesh sieve (over a bowl or in the sink) and sprinkle with the salt and mix a bit to distribute.
- Let the cucumbers sit for 10-30 minutes (depending on how much time you have).
- Mix the sour cream and dill in a bowl and set aside. Feel free to use more if you like.
- Slice the pickled onions into thin strips, and place in a bowl.
- Take the cucumbers out of the sieve, and place in either paper towels or a kitchen towel. Give this a good squeeze to release as much moisture as possible. Place the cucumbers in the bowl with the onions.
- Add the sour cream mixture, stir to combine.
- ENJOY!!
Notes
There is no right or wrong way to make this salad. Feel free to use yogurt, fresh dill and raw onions if you wish. If you don't have time to get moisture out of the cucumber...no problem. This recipe will still work just cutting the cucumber up and using as is. The choice is yours....have fun.
