Instructions

1. Prep the cucumbers
   Lightly salt cucumber slices and let sit 10–15 minutes. Pat dry to remove excess moisture.

2. Make the dressing
   In a bowl, whisk sour cream, mayo (if using), vinegar, sugar, dill, salt, and pepper.

3. Combine
   Add cucumbers and red onion to the dressing and gently toss until coated.

4. Chill & serve
   Refrigerate 20–30 minutes for best flavor. Stir once before serving.
