Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 English cucumbers thinly sliced (about 1/8-inch thick)
  • ½ cup red onion thinly sliced
  • ½ cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh dill
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper

Method
 

  1. Using a sharp mandoline or knife, carefully slice the cucumbers and red onion into delicate 1/8-inch pieces. Transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a medium bowl, vigorously whisk together the sour cream (or Greek yogurt), minced dill, parsley, vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper until the dressing becomes smooth and slightly frothy.
  3. Drizzle the tangy dressing over the sliced vegetables, gently tossing to ensure even coverage. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least a few hours—or overnight—to let the flavors meld.
