Cucumber salad with red onion, dill and sour cream in Greek

4 servings

30 minutes

Cucumber salad with red onion, dill, and sour cream is an elegant and refreshing dish from Greek cuisine. Its roots trace back to traditional Mediterranean recipes where fresh vegetables are combined with aromatic herbs and light dressings. Crunchy cucumbers and sweet red onions are perfectly complemented by the creaminess of sour cream and the slight acidity of lemon juice. Dill adds a piquant freshness, while a small amount of sugar balances the flavor, making it particularly harmonious. This salad is ideal as a side dish for meat or fish dishes or as a standalone light meal. It is chilled before serving to fully reveal all the flavor nuances. Spicy, tender, and aromatic, it makes an excellent addition to summer lunches and dinners.
