Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium cucumbers (sliced thin)
  • 2 tbsp sour cream or Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1 tsp olive oil (optional for richness)
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill or parsley (chopped)
  • 1 tbsp red onion (optional, thinly sliced)

Equipment

  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Cutting Board
  • 1 Sharp kKnife
  • 1 Measuring Spoons
  • 1 Whisk or Spoon for Mixing

Method
 

  1. Slice the Cucumbers: Wash and thinly slice 2 cucumbers. You can peel them if you prefer a softer texture, or leave the skin on for added fiber and crunch.
  2. Prepare the Dressing: In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream or Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix it until smooth and creamy.
  3. Toss Everything Together: Add the sliced cucumbers and red onion (if using) into the bowl with the dressing. Toss gently until the cucumbers are well coated.
  4. Chill for Best Flavour: Let the salad rest in the refrigerator for 10 minutes, this helps the flavours blend and enhances the taste.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, sprinkle with fresh dill or parsley for a burst of colour and flavour. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

  • Put cucumbers dry to avoid excess water in the salad.
  • Chill the salad for at least 10–15 minutes for better flavor infusion.
  • Add a pinch of crushed red pepper for a spicy twist.
  • Substitute sour cream with full-fat Greek yogurt for extra protein.
