Scale
Vegetables
- 1 large English cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 cup radishes, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
Dressing
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar

Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the thinly sliced cucumber, radishes, and red onion, ensuring even distribution of each vegetable.
- Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, white vinegar, sugar, salt, black pepper, and chopped fresh dill until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
