Notes
- You can use regular cucumbers if you cannot find English, see above on how to do that.
- Greek yogurt can be used in place of the sour cream.
- This can be stored up to 3 days but we recommend serving within 24 hours so it doesn't get too watery.
- Make sure you are slicing your onions and cucumbers thinly.
- Make sure that you chill this for at least 1 hour before serving.
- This goes great with any main dish, so its perfect for picnics, gatherings and BBQ's.
- In place of the sugar you can also use honey.
- If you want to use fresh dill you can use 1 Tablespoon of fresh for every 1 teaspoon of dried.
