Ingredients
Scale
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this delightful salad. Feel free to make substitutions based on what you have on hand, as my mom always did.
- 2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced (optional for an extra kick)
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create a dish that’s as easy as it is delicious. Remember, it’s okay to make a mess—after all, it’s part of the fun!
- Start by slicing the cucumbers thinly. If you have little helpers like my kids, let them join in on this part (supervised, of course!).
- In a large bowl, combine the sour cream, dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add the cucumber slices and red onion to the bowl. Toss everything together until the cucumbers are well-coated with the dill dressing. This is where the magic happens, just like when my mom would mix her mysterious concoctions.
- Let the salad sit in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
