- 2 large large cucumbers (Or 3 small cucumbers.)
- 1/2 small small onion, very thinly sliced (Optional but classic.)
- 1/2 cup sour cream (Use full fat for best results.)

- 1 tablespoon vinegar (White or apple cider vinegar.)
- 1 to 2 teaspoons sugar (To taste.)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (Plus more as needed.)
- to taste black pepper
- 1 to 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill (Or 1 teaspoon dried.)

Preparation
- Slice your cucumbers and onions. Put them in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, stir together sour cream, mayo (if using), vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, and dill.
- Pour dressing over the cucumbers. Toss gently until everything is coated.
