It’s crisp and refreshing, exactly what we’re looking for when we want to avoid the stove or oven at all costs

Instructions:

1. Prep the Cucumbers:
   • Wash the cucumbers and pat them dry. Peel them if desired, though it’s not necessary for Kirby cucumbers.
   • Slice the cucumbers thinly. You can use a knife, mandoline, or spiralizer for different textures.
2. Optional: Add Red Onion:
   • If using red onion, thinly slice it and add it to a bowl with the cucumbers.
3. Make the Creamy Dressing:
   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
4. Combine and Chill:
   • Pour the creamy dressing over the cucumbers and red onion (if using). Gently toss to coat everything evenly.
   • Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes, or up to several hours, to allow the flavors to meld.
5. Serve:
   • Serve the chilled creamy cucumber salad as a side dish or appetizer. Garnish with additional fresh dill if desired.
