Notes
Ingredient notes:
cucumbers - you can use smaller Persian cucumbers or large English / hot house cucumbers
red onion - it's completely optional, some people like this salad with onions and some don't, instead of red onion you could also add chives or thinly sliced green onions
lemon juice - use lemon juice if you prefer a more subtle acidity and vinegar if you prefer a more pronounces acidity in your salad sour cream - it's best for this recipe, you can swap it for thick Greek yogurt, plain yogurt, creme fraiche, or Skyr
dill - you can use fresh or frozen, do not use dried dill weed
Recipe notes:
If you have young and fresh cucumbers that have thin and tender skin, you don't have to peel them
if you have large watery cucumbers with large seeds you can cut out the middle part with the seeds
you can use a food processor or a mandoline if you have lots of cucumbers to chop up
you can chop your cucumbers very thin or thick - I like medium-thick slices (like on the photos) but some like it paper-thin (but please note that if you slice your cucumbers very thinly and leave them with salt, your salad won't be very crunchy)
don't omit salting the cucumbers, or they will release lots of liquid and your salad will be watery you can add more sour cream if you want it extra creamy (make sure to adjust the amount of lemon juice/vinegar)
Storage: This salad should be served and enjoyed right away. After some time the cucumbers will release more moisture making the salad watery. If you have some leftover salad, you can store it in the fridge for up to 1 day, then drain the excess liquid, add more sour cream, and season it once again with dill and lemon juice.
