Step 1: Prepare the Cucumbers
- Wash cucumbers well.
- Slice thinly.
- (Optional but recommended) Lightly salt the slices and let sit 10 minutes, then drain excess liquid.
👉 This keeps the salad thick and creamy.
Step 2: Make the Creamy Dressing
- In a bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice (or vinegar), sugar, salt, and pepper.
- Mix until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Combine
- Add cucumbers (and onion, if using) to the dressing.
- Toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
Step 4: Chill & Serve
- Refrigerate for 15–30 minutes for best flavor.
- Serve cold.
