    How to Make Crunchy Dill-Infused Cucumber Salad

    1. Cucumber Draining

    Place the prepared cucumber slices and thinly sliced onion in a strainer or colander set over a bowl. Toss with 1 tablespoon of salt. Place a water-filled, one-gallon zipper-lock freezer bag on top to weigh down the vegetables. Allow the cucumbers and onions to drain for 1 to 3 hours to enhance their crunchiness.

    2. Creamy Dill Dressing

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, cider vinegar, granulated sugar, and minced fresh dill. Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

    3. Salad Assembly

    Add the drained cucumbers and onion to the dressing. Toss everything together until the vegetables are well coated. Chill the salad before serving, and adjust the seasonings if needed.
