INGREDIENTS
  

  • 1 English cucumber, sliced into half moons or circles, don’t cut it too thin
  • 1 large beefsteak tomato, sliced into quarters
  • 1 cup brown onion, sliced (I cut the long strips in half)
  • 5 tablespoons sour cream, or low fat sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • salt and black pepper to tast
  • parsley for garnish, or dill
  • 1 half of a small lemon

INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • Prep the veggies: Slice the cucumbers, halve the tomatoes, and thinly slice the onion.
    1 English cucumber, 1 cup brown onion, 1 large beefsteak tomato
  • Mix the dressing: Whisk together sour cream, and your favorite seasonings like salt, pepper.
    5 tablespoons sour cream, salt and black pepper to tast
  • Combine and toss: Add the veggies to a large bowl, add the dressing, squeeze the lemon juice on top and toss until everything is coated.
    1 half of a small lemon
  • Chill and serve: Let the salad chill in the fridge for 15-20 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.

NOTES

  • Serves 5-6 side portions.
  • Use the freshest ingredients. Choose the freshest cucumbers for the best crunch. Keep the skin on for extra texture.
  • Creamiest dressing. For a smooth dressing, let your sour cream or yogurt warm up. This makes it silky.
  • Flavor development. Let your salad chill in the fridge for a bit. This lets all the flavors mix and get better.
  • Onion prep. Don't like the strong taste of raw onions? Soak them in cold water first. This trick makes them milder.
