📝 Instructions

Step 1

Using a mandoline, thinly slice English cucumbers (unpeeled). Arrange the cucumber slices in a single layer on paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. Sprinkle with salt; let stand until the cucumbers release some of their moisture and look glossy, about 15 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, whisk light sour cream, low-fat plain strained yogurt (Greek-style), cider vinegar, chopped fresh dill, the remaining salt, and ground pepper together in a large serving bowl until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 3

Pat the cucumbers dry with clean paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. Add the cucumbers to the dressing and toss to coat evenly. Garnish with additional dill and pepper, if desired. Serve immediately.
