Cucumber Salad with Sour Cream and Dill Dressing

 

Every summer I wind up with more cucumbers than I know what to do with.  I'm always looking for new and delicious ways to serve them.  This salad is super refreshing and makes good use of the cucumbers and dill growing in the garden.

1/2 cup sour cream

2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)

2 Tbsp chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish

Coarse salt and ground pepper

1 lb small cucumbers (about 4 - 6) 

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

To make the dressing

In a medium bowl, combine sour cream, lemon juice, and dill.  

Season with salt and pepper and whisk well to combine.

Cucumbers and onion

Peel and halve the cucumbers lengthwise and thinly slice

Add the cucumbers and sliced onion to a serving bowl.  

Top with the dressing and toss to coat.  

Garnish with more dill, if desired.

Serve or refrigerate, covered until ready to serve.
