Use a sharp knife: When slicing the cucumbers, use a sharp knife to ensure clean, even slices.
Don't overcook the cucumbers: Cucumbers should be cooked just until they are tender-crisp. Overcooking will make them mushy.
Use a good quality sour cream: The sour cream is a key ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality product. Look for a sour cream that is thick and creamy, with a slightly tangy flavor.
Season to taste: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings in this recipe to your own taste. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder, depending on your preferences.
