#### How to Make Creamy Cucumber Salad

1. **Slice the cucumbers:** Thinly slice your cucumbers. If they have thick skin or big seeds, you can peel and deseed them.
2. **Salt and drain (optional):** To prevent excess water in your salad, sprinkle the slices with salt and let them sit for 15–20 minutes, then drain.
3. **Mix the dressing:** In a bowl, combine sour cream or yogurt with vinegar or lemon juice, dill, salt, pepper, and sugar. Stir until smooth and well combined.
4. **Toss and chill:** Add the cucumbers (and onions if using) into the dressing and mix until everything is coated. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes for best flavor.
5. **Serve cold:** Garnish with extra dill and enjoy!
