Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Refreshing Dill Cucumber Salad.
Step 1
Start by bringing the white vinegar, sugar, water, chopped fresh dill, and salt to a gentle boil in a saucepan. Stir the mixture until the sugar completely dissolves, creating a sweet and tangy brine that will elevate your cucumbers.
Step 2
Once the brine is ready, pour it over the thinly sliced cucumbers in a large mixing bowl. Toss everything together gently, ensuring each cucumber slice is well-coated in that delicious mixture.
Step 3
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let it chill in the refrigerator for about 2 hours. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully and the cucumbers to soak up all that goodness.
Step 4
After the chilling time, drain the vinegar mixture from the cucumbers and discard it. Now, stir in the sour cream, mixing until the cucumbers are evenly coated in a creamy layer. This adds a delightful richness to the salad.
Step 5
Give it a final taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Then, refrigerate again until you’re ready to serve. This salad is best enjoyed cold, making it a perfect side for summer barbecues or picnics.
