Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of sour cream, 1/3 cup mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, and 1/2 cup of pickle juice until well combined. Add in 1 teaspoon each of garlic powder, dried onion, dried dill, and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Continue whisking until the dressing is smooth and creamy, and the flavors meld beautifully.
- While the dressing sits, slice 4 to 5 Persian cucumbers thinly, ensuring they are uniform for consistent crunch. If desired, you can also chop some pickles. Place the sliced cucumbers and pickles in a large mixing bowl.
- Pour the creamy dressing over the cucumbers and any optional pickles in the bowl. Using a spatula, gently fold the dressing into the cucumbers to ensure each slice is nicely coated.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
- Once chilled, give the salad a quick stir. Adjust seasoning if needed, transfer to a serving dish, and garnish with additional herbs like fresh parsley or dill before serving.
