Ingredients

serves 4

　　1/2 cup sour cream

　　2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

　　2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish (optional)

　　Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

　　4 to 6 Kirby cucumbers (1 pound), halved lengthwise and thinly sliced into half-moons

　　

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine sour cream, lemon juice, and chopped dill. Season with salt and pepper, and whisk well to combine.

　　

Step 2

Add cucumbers, and toss to coat. Garnish with more dill, if desired. Serve, or refrigerate, covered, up to 4 hours.

　　

Slicing Tool

Step 3

An adjustable blade slicer, such as a mandoline, makes quick work of slicing vegetables paper thin (or as thin as you like). Look for them at houseware shops and in many department stores.
