Description

A quick and refreshing salad combining crisp English cucumbers and red onion with a tangy sour cream dressing. Infused with fresh dill and garlic powder, this no-cook dish is perfect for busy meals.


Ingredients

2 English cucumbers, thinly sliced
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (substituted for red wine vinegar to comply with dietary restrictions)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon granulated sugar (optional)
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste


Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together sour cream, vinegar, dill, garlic powder, and optional sugar until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Add sliced cucumbers and red onion to the dressing. Gently stir until fully coated.
Chill for 10-15 minutes before serving (optional for enhanced flavor).

Notes

Tangy apple cider vinegar replaces red wine vinegar for alcohol-free compliance.
For added texture, top with sunflower seeds or roasted chickpeas.
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days, though freshness is best within 1 day.
