A refreshing and creamy cucumber salad with a tangy twist, perfect for any occasion.
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly or peel them if desired.
Peeling the cucumbers can reduce bitterness if they are not fresh.
Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.
Use a mandoline slicer for uniform slices.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion.
Soak the onion slices in cold water for a few minutes to reduce their sharpness.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, vinegar, and sugar substitute.
Whisk the dressing until smooth for an even coating.
Add the sliced cucumbers and onions to the bowl with the dressing and mix well.
Ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Transfer the salad to a refrigerator-safe container and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
Chilling enhances the flavor as the ingredients meld together.
Serve the salad chilled as a refreshing side dish.
Garnish with fresh herbs like dill or parsley for added flavor.
