Last summer, my great friend Emily made a vegetable dip for a party and I. could. not. get enough! Everyone was talking about it and I knew I had to have this recipe. It was garlicky, creamy and super addictive. The ingredient that set it off for me was dill weed.
I couldn’t remember the last time I had used dill and vowed to remedy that ASAP. Besides making this dip, which of course I did, I wanted to find another way to use dill in a quick veggie side dish.
I’m really wishing the weather were a bit warmer today, but since that’s not happening, I’m going to make a light side dish that reminds me of fresh cucumbers in the summer. Cucumbers and dill are a classic combination. I love that this is creamy, packed with flavor, uses only a few ingredients and comes together in just a couple of minutes.
Thinly slice a cucumber.
Add the sour cream, dill and garlic to a bowl and combine.
Slowly add the cucumbers and combine, making sure each side of the cucumbers are coated. Thin with a little milk if necessary. I didn’t feel I needed any this time, but have in the past.
How yummy does this look?! It was super refreshing and had me dreaming of summer 🙂
This makes a great side dish and would be great for barbecues and parties since it’s quick, easy and like that veggie dip last summer…addictive!
- 1 cucumber
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 1 tsp fresh dill (1/3 tsp dried dill)
- sprinkle garlic powder
-
Thinly slice the cucumber.
-
In a medium bowl, combine sour cream, dill and garlic powder. Add a little milk to thin out, if needed. (I didn't this time, but have in the past)
-
Slowly add the cucumbers to coat each side with the sour cream mixture.
-
Add salt and pepper to your liking.
-
TASTE! Adjust seasonings if you'd like. Maybe a little more garlic? 🙂
-
Chill for a couple of hours for best taste and enjoy!
This is a great make-ahead side dish and will keep nicely for a few days in the fridge.
