CUCUMBER & RED ONION SALAD WITH DILL



Cucumber & red onion salad with dill image

I used one red onion because my husband loves raw onions. If you are not a fan of that many raw onions, simply add a ½ or even ¼ of the onion. This is an updated version of what I grew up eating. My mom use to make cucumbers with sour cream.

two cucumbers " washed " not peeled
1 medium red onion
4 tablespoons sea salt
2 tablespoons turbinado sugar for the onions
1 teaspoon dill " divided in ½ "
3 tablespoons sour cream drained
6 ounces greek yogurt " unflavored " drained
white sugar " amount is up to you " for the yogurt & sour cream

Steps:

  • 1. Put the yogurt and sour cream in a coffee filter over a strainer in the refrigerator and drain till the liquid has all drained out, usually takes 30 ~ 60 minutes.

  • 5. After 15 minutes drain the onions " do not rinse " and put them in the refrigerator.
  • 6. After 1 hour swish the cucumbers in a bowl of very cold water getting as much of the salt off as you can, drain. Deepening on how much salt gets removed you may need to do this step twice. Drain in a colander till all the liquid has stopped draining.
  • 7. Lay several layers of paper towels on the counter and lay the cucumbers in a single layer. Place several layers of paper towels on top and roll " like a jelly roll " to remove any excess water. Do this as many times as necessary with dry paper towels to remove the excess moisture.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, crisp cucumbers. English or Persian cucumbers are ideal, as they have fewer seeds and a milder flavor.
  • Slice the cucumbers thinly so that they absorb the dressing more easily.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the red onion so that it doesn't bruise. If you don't have a sharp knife, you can use a mandoline slicer.
  • Chop the dill finely so that it evenly distributes throughout the salad.
  • Use a light hand when adding the salt and pepper. You can always add more to taste, but it's difficult to remove them once they've been added.
  • Let the salad sit for at least 15 minutes before serving so that the flavors have time to meld.
  • Serve the salad chilled for a refreshing side dish or appetizer.
