How to Make Greek Style Cucumber Salad

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin until smooth and creamy.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups thinly sliced cucumbers, 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions, 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill, and 2 cloves minced garlic.
  3. Pour the sour cream mixture over the cucumber mixture and gently toss to combine, ensuring all the cucumbers are coated.
  4. Taste and add 1-2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice (or more, to taste) for extra brightness.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. This step is optional but recommended.
