Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
  • 1 large cucumber, peeled and grated
  • 1 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Peel cucumber completely. Grate using large holes of box grater. Place grated cucumber in clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly to remove excess moisture.
  2. In large mixing bowl, combine sour cream with squeezed cucumber. Stir until evenly distributed throughout the cream.
  3. Fold in chopped fresh dill, ensuring even distribution. The dill should be visible throughout the mixture.
  4. Add lemon juice and salt gradually. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed for perfect balance.
  5. Cover bowl tightly and refrigerate for 1-2 hours. This allows flavors to meld and develop fully.
