Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 English cucumbers Thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon Fine salt Plus more if needed
  • 1/2 cup Sour cream
  • 3 tablespoons Everything bagel seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons White vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup Red onion Thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh dill Chopped, optional

Equipment

  • Colander
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Small whisk
  • Chef's knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Toss the sliced cucumbers with the salt in a colander. Let them drain for 30 minutes.
  2. Rinse the cucumbers briefly, then press or pat them dry to remove excess moisture.
  3. Whisk the sour cream, everything bagel seasoning, vinegar, and black pepper until smooth.
  4. Fold the cucumbers, red onion, and dill into the dressing.
  5. Taste, adjust the seasoning, and serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes.

Notes

  • Dry the cucumbers well to prevent watery dressing.
  • Use Greek yogurt for a tangier variation.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to three days.
  • Do not freeze because the sour cream dressing may separate.
