Refreshing Ukrainian Cucumber Salad Recipe Shared

Not the Ukrainian version of the so-called Russian salad, it undoubtedly originates from this country and its neighbouring countries.

Ingredients

  • 1 large cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced;
  • 3 tablespoons sour cream (low-fat);
  • 1 thinly diced banana shallot or half a small onion;
  • black pepper;
  • salt;
  • 3 tablespoons or so of finely chopped dill.

Preparation

  • After preparing the cucumber, place a bowl of water with ice, add about 1 tablespoon of salt.
  • Soak the cucumber for 40-60 minutes (the ice keeps the cucumber crisp).
  • Drain well, squeeze and in a bowl mix the ingredients and season to taste.
  • Tastes very good the next day.

Considerations and thanks

Many thanks to my friend from Denmark for this light and very good recipe.
