Equipment
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs English cucumbers
- 1 onion , (sliced in half-wedges)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp white distilled vinegar
Instructions
Directions:
- Slice the cucumbers. Trim off the ends and cut them in half lengthwise, then slice them up into half rings or whole slices. Cut the onion into wedges and slice.
- Transfer sliced cucumbers and onion into a bowl and add the sour cream, salt, pepper, and vinegar.
- Fold in the sour cream until cucumbers are coated well. Serve fresh!
Notes
- Slice the cucumbers on the thicker side, about 1/4 to 1/8-inch slices, so they stay fresh and crisp longer.
- Add the sour cream directly to the bowl of sliced cucumbers and onion. Mixing it in a separate bowl will thin it out and make the dressing runnier.
- Use 1 cup of chopped green onions or chives for a milder taste.
