Creamy Cucumber Salad

This cool, creamy salad is one of our favorites alongside burgers or grilled chicken. Dill and sour cream give the sliced cukes plenty of flavor.

Calories per serving: 120

Ingredients:
4 cucumbers (about 2 1/2 pounds), peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
1 small sweet onion, thinly sliced into rings
Kosher salt
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons white vinegar
Freshly cracked black pepper


Directions:
Put a large colander in a large bowl. Add the cucumbers and onions to the colander, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon salt and toss until the salt is evenly distributed. Let stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour and up to 2 hours.

Transfer the cucumbers and onions from the colander to a paper towel-lined baking sheet and pat them dry with another layer of paper towels.

Whisk together the sour cream, dill, vinegar and a few cracks of black pepper in a medium bowl. Add the cucumbers and onions and toss until coated.

To make ahead: Salt and pat dry the cucumbers and onions as above, then keep separate from the dressing until ready to serve.
