Ingredients

Vegetables

1.5 lbs cucumbers 2 english cucumbers or 7-10 small ones
0.5 medium purple or yellow onion thinly sliced

Dressing

1 tablespoon fresh or frozen dill chopped
0.5 cup sour cream reduced fat is ok
0.5 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 clove garlic pressed or grated
0.5 teaspoon fine sea salt and pinch black pepper, or to taste

Instructions

Preparation

In a small bowl, combine sour cream, lemon juice, garlic, dill, salt and pepper to taste. Stir and set aside while prepping salad.
Peel (if necessary) and slice cucumbers into thin rounds or half rounds if using large cucumbers. Place in a large mixing bowl. Add thinly sliced onion.
Just before serving, pour the dressing over the cucumbers and onions, and mix to coat. After adding sauce, the salad will stay fresh for about 2-3 hours if refrigerated.

Notes

Variations: Add ⅓ cup chives or green onion instead of onion for a milder onion flavor. Alternatively, add 1-2 tablespoon mayo to the dressing instead of lemon juice. Greek yogurt can be used, just omit lemon juice if using.
