A refreshing and creamy cucumber salad with fresh dill and tangy apple cider vinegar, perfect for easy summer meals and quick side dishes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large English cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Rinse and dry the cucumbers. Using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice them thinly—about 1/8-inch (3 mm) thickness.
  2. Finely chop fresh dill sprigs to measure about 3 tablespoons. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, minced garlic (optional), salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the sliced cucumbers and chopped dill to the dressing bowl. Gently fold everything together to coat evenly.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld.
  6. Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or apple cider vinegar if desired. Stir gently.

Notes

For less watery salad, salt cucumber slices and let sit in a colander for 10 minutes before patting dry. Use fresh dill for best flavor. Salad tastes best after chilling at least 30 minutes. Can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream and mayo for a lighter version. Dairy-free alternatives can be used for vegan version.
