Ingredients
- 2 medium cucumbers, thinly sliced
- ½ small red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
- ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1–2 tsp white vinegar or lemon juice
- 1 tsp sugar (optional, balances acidity)
- 1 tsp fresh dill or ½ tsp dried dill

Instructions
- Prepare cucumbers

Tips & Variations
- Extra creamy: Mix sour cream with a little mayonnaise.

- Flavor boost: Add garlic powder, chives, or a splash of olive oil.
- Low-carb option: Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a tangy, healthy version.
