120 ml sour cream

# How to Make It:
01 -
Using a sharp knife or mandoline, cut the red onion into thin slices. Rinse cucumbers thoroughly, slice thinly, and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
02 -
In a medium mixing bowl, blend sour cream, white vinegar, minced fresh dill, granulated sugar, salt, and garlic powder. Stir until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
03 -
Add the prepared cucumber and red onion slices to the bowl with the dressing. Toss gently to ensure even coating without breaking the vegetables.
04 -
Top with additional fresh dill and freshly ground black pepper as desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate, covered, for enhanced flavor blending.
05 -
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
For optimal flavor, prepare at least 1 hour ahead and refrigerate to allow the flavors to meld.
02 -
If making ahead, keep sliced vegetables and dressing separate, then combine just before serving for maximum freshness.
