Pin This RecipeThis cucumber salad is summer in a bowl — cool, crisp cucumber slices in a tangy sour cream and dill dressing with sharp red onion.
Salt the cucumbers first and let them drain for 10 minutes to draw out excess water.
Serves perfectly alongside grilled meats, fish, or as a light lunch.
