1-First, wash and slice 2 English cucumbers into ¼-inch pieces for that perfect crispness.

2-If you’re using the optional ⅓ cup sliced white onion, soak it in cold water for a few minutes to lessen its sharpness before draining.

3-In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt, 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, ¼ cup chopped fresh dill, 3 tablespoons white vinegar, ½ teaspoon granulated sugar, and start with 1/8 teaspoon salt.

4-Once the dressing is fully mixed and creamy, gently toss the cucumber slices and onion with it to coat everything evenly.

5-This ensures each bite is full of flavor without any sogginess. Refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to enhance the taste, then adjust salt and pepper as needed before serving.

6-Garnish with extra fresh dill if you want to add a pop of color and freshness.
