Notes
Sour cream is the base for the creamy dressing. You can sub plain Greek yogurt for the sour cream or even add a little mayonnaise to make it extra rich and creamy.
Sugar helps create flavor balance against the rich sour cream and acidic lemon juice. Some people prefer to leave out the sugar, which is an option if you prefer.
You can use conventional or English cucumbers for this recipe, but I suggest scraping out the seeds if using conventional cucumbers. Itās totally up to you whether or not you want to peel the cucumbers. I love the contrast of color the peel provides, but you can peel them if you prefer.
