Instructions
Place the thinly sliced cucumbers in a bowl and sprinkle with salt. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
After 10 minutes, drain the cucumbers and gently pat them dry with a paper towel to remove any remaining moisture.
In a separate bowl, combine the sour cream, chopped dill, lemon juice, sugar, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Add the drained cucumbers to the dressing and mix until the slices are evenly coated. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Tips and Substitutions
- Incorporate thinly sliced red onions or chives for an extra layer of flavor.
- For a lighter version, substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt.
