Ingredients

Creamy Dill Dressing

1/2 cup Sour cream
1/4 cup Mayonnaise
3 tbsp White wine vinegar
1/4 cup Finely chopped fresh dill
1/2 tsp Kosher salt more to taste
1/4 tsp Black pepper more to taste

Salad Ingredients

2 English cucumbers thinly sliced
1/2 large Red onion thinly sliced

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, white wine vinegar, chopped fresh dill, kosher salt, and black pepper until smooth. Set aside.
1/2 cup Sour cream, 1/4 cup Mayonnaise, 3 tbsp White wine vinegar, 1/4 cup Finely chopped fresh dill, 1/2 tsp Kosher salt, 1/4 tsp Black pepper
Thinly slice the English cucumbers and red onion. Place the sliced cucumbers in a single layer on paper towels and gently pat them dry. Removing some of the surface moisture helps keep the dressing thick, creamy, and flavorful rather than watery as the salad chills. Add them to the bowl with the dressing.

Gently toss everything together until the cucumbers and onions are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Stir before serving and garnish with a little extra fresh dill if desired.

Notes

Chill before serving for the best flavor.
