Instructions:
Prepare the cucumbers: Wash and thinly slice the cucumbers. You can peel them if you prefer.
Salt the cucumbers: Place the cucumber slices in a colander, sprinkle lightly with salt, and let them sit for 10–15 minutes to draw out excess water. Pat dry with a paper towel.
Make the dressing: In a bowl, mix sour cream, mayonnaise (if using), vinegar or lemon juice, sugar (if using), salt, and pepper until smooth.
Combine: Add cucumbers and red onion to the dressing. Mix gently until all slices are coated.
Chill: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Serve: Sprinkle with fresh dill before serving. Enjoy cold as a side dish!
