Cucumber Salad with Sour Cream and Dill

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish (optional)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
4 to 6 Kirby cucumbers (1 pound), halved lengthwise and thinly sliced into half-moons

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a medium bowl, combine sour cream, lemon juice, and chopped dill. Season with salt and pepper, and whisk well to combine.

    Step 2

    Add cucumbers, and toss to coat. Garnish with more dill, if desired. Serve, or refrigerate, covered, up to 4 hours.

  2. Slicing Tool

    Step 3

    An adjustable blade slicer, such as a mandoline, makes quick work of slicing vegetables paper thin (or as thin as you like). Look for them at houseware shops and in many department stores.
