Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large seedless cucumber (usually plastic-wrapped), thinly sliced
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Cucumbers: Select firm, straight cucumbers with a deep green color and no blemishes. Avoid cucumbers that are yellow or have soft spots.
  • Peeling or Not Peeling: Peeling cucumbers is optional. If you prefer a milder flavor, peel the cucumbers before slicing them. If you like a more pronounced flavor, leave the peel on.
  • Slicing Techniques: Cut cucumbers into thin slices for a delicate texture. For a heartier texture, cut them into thicker slices or spears.
  • Marinating Time: The marinating time can vary depending on your desired flavor intensity. For a light flavor, marinate the cucumbers for at least 30 minutes. For a more intense flavor, marinate them for up to overnight.
  • Chilling: After marinating, chill the cucumbers in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This will help enhance the flavors and textures.
  • Garnishing: Before serving, garnish the cucumbers with fresh herbs like dill or chives for an extra touch of flavor and color.
