Step 1

Make the dressing first. Whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper and fresh dill. I like to use a hand blender to do this part as it makes the dressing nice and creamy.

Step 2

Now slice the cucumbers thinly (see pictures), about 1/8 inch thick.

Step 3

Slice the shallots/red onion thinly.

Step 4

Chop more dill, about 1 extra tablespoon.

Step 5

In a medium bowl toss the dressing with the sliced cucumbers, onion and additional fresh dill.

Step 6

Serve immediately.
