  • 0.5 cup Sour Cream
  • 0.5 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
  • 1 clove Garlic, pressed or grated
  • 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt, fine

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, lemon juice, garlic, dill, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined and set aside to let the flavors meld.

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers with the thinly sliced onion.
  • Just before serving, pour the prepared dressing over the cucumber and onion mixture. Stir gently to coat all the vegetables evenly.
  • Refrigerate the salad to let the flavors blend more, ideally for about 2–3 hours.

  • Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a lighter dressing.
  • Let the salad rest for at least an hour before serving for maximum flavor.
