Ingredients

  • 6 smalli-sh pickling cucumbers or 2 regular cucumber, washed and sliced (or about 3 cups)
  • 1/2 large red onion thinly sliced (or about 1 cup)
  • kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh dill roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 splashes white balsamic vinegar or white wine vinegar

Instructions

  • In a large bowl; layer a third of the cucumbers and onions, then a sprinkle of kosher salt, and repeat with the remaining cucumbers and onions.
  • Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
  • With your impeccably clean hands, working in batches, squeezing the excess moisture out of the cucumbers and onions and transferring them into a clean bowl, set off to the side.
  • In a small bowl; mix up the sour cream, fresh dill, sugar and black pepper. Add a couple splashes of vinegar.
    If you add too much vinegar just balance it out with a little more sour cream and a pinch of sugar.
  • Pour dressing over cucumbers and onions, toss to combine and cover back up with plastic wrap. Refrigerated for another 30 minutes.
  • Stir again, season with more black pepper and fresh dill before serving.
