Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 4 cups sliced English cucumber (about 1 ½ to 2 cucumbers)
  • ½ cup sliced red onion
  • 1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes, halved

Dressing

  • ⅓ cup sour cream
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ¾ teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons chopped fresh dill (or ½ teaspoon dried dill)
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables: Toss together the sliced cucumbers, red onion, and halved grape or cherry tomatoes in a large bowl and set aside.
  2. Make the dressing: In a large measuring cup or small bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, chopped fresh dill, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper until smooth and combined.
  3. Toss salad with dressing: Drizzle the prepared dressing over the vegetables and gently stir to coat them evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.

Notes

  • For best flavor, chill the salad for 15-30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
  • You can substitute dried dill for fresh dill if fresh is not available, but use less as it is more concentrated.
  • This salad is best served fresh but can be kept refrigerated for up to 1 day.
  • Feel free to add fresh herbs like parsley or chives for an extra burst of flavor.
