Instructions
Prep the Vegetables Slice the cucumbers into thin coins and place them in a large mixing bowl. Add the diced red onion.
Make the Dill Dressing In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, sugar, apple cider vinegar, dill, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until smooth and creamy.
Toss and Coat Pour the dressing over the cucumbers and onions. Toss gently until every slice is evenly coated in the creamy dill dressing.
Chill Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. The flavors will meld together and the cucumbers will absorb the sweet, tangy, dill-forward dressing.
Serve Give the salad one final stir before serving. Taste and adjust with additional dill, salt, or vinegar if desired.

Pro Tips
* Fresh dill provides the best flavor and gives the salad a classic deli-style taste.
* For extra crunch, lightly salt the cucumbers and let them sit for 15 minutes before draining and mixing.
* A squeeze of fresh lemon juice brightens the dressing even more.
* This salad pairs perfectly with grilled burgers, smoked brisket, pulled pork, barbecue chicken, bratwurst, or fried fish.
* Make it a few hours ahead of time—the flavor gets even better as it chills.
